Question for Clerks in SLCC

Question

May I ask a question of any clerks who are a member of SLCC. If you have to attend any area meetings do you do so in your own time or during your work hours?

Answer 1

Depends when it is...?  For me they tend to fall during my working hours and so I attend them as part of my work.  My council views them as the CPD work.

Thank you for your reply.

Answer 2

I'm no longer a clerk but when I was my council considered this to be part of my professional development and therefore could be considered part of my work.  We have a similar view in my current council and the clerk attends training and branch meetings as part of her working hours.   The same applies to meetings/training sessions offered by our local county office of NALC and any training etc. held by our district council.
