Staff whose roles are suitable for hybrid working are expected to attend their contractual workplace for a minimum of 60 per cent of their working time. Some roles require full-time workplace attendance, and exceptions may apply in individual circumstances. Attendance data is monitored through departmental systems and can be collated at workplace level.
