Social Security Scotland was established as an Executive Agency of the Scottish Government on 1st September 2018. Social Security Scotland staff are employed under Scottish Government Main Terms and Conditions, follow Scottish Government rules in relation to overtime, and associated allowances and use online Scottish Government systems to claim and record overtime.
Since the Agency was established on the 1 September 2018, up to and including the 30th of April 2019 the total number of overtime hours worked was 2,381 hours and 52 minutes.
