Submit your 2023/24 trade union facilities time data

Reminder that the deadline to submit your facilities time data is 31 July 2024. Find out more and access links to the government portal.

30 May 2024

The facility time portal is now open for employers to submit data for the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.

As a public sector employer, there is a legal requirement to report and publish information on facility time for employees who are trade union representatives.

Employers should be aware of the full requirements of the regulations (not just the requirement to publish on the website). The regulations state that employers must:

  • publish the information in the form indicated in schedule 2 of the regulations
  • place this information on their website
  • include this information in their annual report which covers the relevant period (April 2023 to March 2024)
  • place the information on a website maintained by or on behalf of the government before 31 July 2024.

Read the government guidance on trade union facility time reporting. Any questions relating to your submission can be sent directly to the Cabinet Office.

Submit your data

Use the facilities time portal to submit your data by 31 July 2024
