TOiL ( Time Off in Lieu )
Some Members have told us that they have been asked and even told by their Manager to take Time Off in Lieu at the end of day or even all day when perhaps there is a long journey or when travelling to and or from Training Courses!

IF you wish to come to some arrangement between you and your manager about using TOiL then that is a personal arrangement between you. If you cant agree on how much time or when it is to be taken then don't do it, insist on the correct payment for that situation.... You Cannot be made to take TOiL.... Some members have reported managers altering the hours you have booked ! That is falsification of your Time and is a Disciplinary Offence for a manager to remove the hours/alter your Time and not tell you what he/she has done and have good reason why?

A manager will come out to site to visit you, they may or may not tell you they are coming but will almost certainly not tell you why they want to see you? Likewise if you get called to their or another office you almost certainly will not be told why before you get there....... More>
