I guess the answer will be informally and positively

Hi Barnes

I am not in sports but we do have this issue. Our senior people never book TOIL, but as Peter says it happens informally. If people have putting a lot of hours in, they will leave early or come in late and it is just understood that they are entitled to do so. However, we have never had anyone abuse the privilege. That could change our attitude of give and take.

In reply to Elizabeth Divver:

Agree totally with colleages. No need at all contractually to provide for it as of 'right' , but informally it usually happens. And indeed, if CEO or MD or whoever similar is on the ball in their job, they will recognize when or if it needs to happen and use their authority to make it so.

( Where TOIL *is* allowed, it's usually imperative to guard against the provision being used inappropriately eg by prohibiting people from simply granting it unto themselves. I've known employees produce previously unknown-about bits of paper or notebooks purporting to contain records of days or even weeks in total of TOIL 'owing' to them and if eg they're leaving employment, demanding payment for it in compensation. All the more reason very explicitly to guard against this...)
