Working Patterns. The incidence of part-time working is higher in Argyll and Bute than across Scotland as a whole (figure 3). Part-time employment is affected by seasonal changes as many of these jobs are tourism-related. There is also a higher than average rate of seasonal employment more generally within the Council area.
Working Patterns. The pattern of hours by which employees meet their ordinary hours of duty is a matter for agreement and documentation between the manager and employee subject to operational requirements. In reaching this agreement, employees may wish to consider the Working Hours (includes Flex-time, Overtime and Time Off in Lieu) policy available on the intranet. Flex time APS classified employees are to record flex-time as a minute-for-minute account for working time. The utilisation of flex-time, is to be undertaken and agreed in the context of Part D of this agreement. The maximum flex credit carry-over is 15 hours and the maximum flex debit carry-over is 10 hours per settlement period unless an alternative working arrangement is agreed by all parties. Executive Level arrangements are based on outcomes rather than minute for minute accountability. Where an Executive Level employee has worked more than their ordinary hours of duty, they may be provided with additional time off in recognition of their contribution, including whole days. Please refer to the Working Hours (includes Flex-time, Overtime and Time Off in Lieu) policy for more information. The ordinary hours of work for flex time calculations are 7 hours 30 minutes per day. A total of 37 hours 30 minutes per week or 75 hours per two [2] week settlement period must be worked within the bandwidth. During the week, days where employees are not actually at work (for example, public holidays, periods of approved leave, excluding flex time), employees will record 7 hours 30 minutes a day on their flex sheet for the purposes of calculating hours worked within a settlement period. Nothing in this provision prevents the Agency Head from reverting an employee to standard hours of work where an employee fails to maintain a satisfactory pattern of attendance, as per clause 28.

Working Patterns. The council is committed to improve the flexibility of service delivery to meet the needs of the local community and also provide employees with a greater opportunity for ‘Work Life Balance’. Consequently the council acknowledges a variety of working patterns to suit both individual and service needs. See Appendix 6 for the working time arrangements that are available to employees to support this. The Working Week The standard working week (Monday to Friday) will remain at 35 hours for those within scope of this Agreement which was harmonised on 1st April 2004. The hours that employees work will normally be between the hours of 7:00am and 8:00pm subject to the requirements of the service. Employees may have their starting and ceasing times altered by mutual agreement between the employee and the relevant manager, depending upon the needs of the service. When negotiating individual working hours, the relevant manager should ensure adequate staffing in their areas of responsibility to enable the work to be carried out effectively and efficiently. The manager should also attempt to meet the non-work needs of the employee. Where there is a proposal to change starting or ceasing times for all employees in a section, the relevant manager should consult with the employees concerned or trade union representatives in order to seek agreement about the new arrangements. Implementation arrangements, a trial period and review process should form part of any agreement.
