Facility time is time an employer gives a union representative to carry out their trade union role. Sometimes this means a rep is fully seconded from their regular job, enabling them to work full time on trade union tasks. It can also mean an employer allows a rep to carry out trade union duties, instead of their substantive job, for a certain amount of time per week or month.
