Submit your trade union facilities time data 2022/23

Reminder that the deadline to submit your facilities time data is 31 July 2023. Find out more and access links to the government portal.

25 May 2023

The facility time portal has now opened for employers to submit data for the period 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.

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 2022 to March 2023)
  • place the information on a website maintained by or on behalf of the government before 31 July 2023.

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 2023
