APPENDIX 1 Further to the report provided to Council in relation to the Holiday Proposal for the World Cup (Report No 26/52), officers have received a query regarding loss of productivity and any other additional incurred costs that may arise. The report presented includes figures that may arise for those in school settings who are contracted to work on 15 June but might be unable to take the day at an alternative time and will require to be paid a compensatory payment to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all employees. The estimated cost arising from loss of productive time should the additional day’s holiday be supported are set out in the table below. These do not include other costs which may be incurred on the day due to existing contractual or other commitments, such as the cost of school transport, which we would continue to be required to be paid but not utilised on this day. If approved, officers would require to discuss with operators the costs associated for a blanket withdrawal of all home school transport service. Whilst early notice would normally result in no costs being incurred in relation to an individual route. The withdrawal of all bus services would need to consider the overall operating costs and impacts for the operators. Financial Implications For staff due to work on Monday 15 June 2026, they will be paid as normal and this has already been fully budgeted for within existing staff costs. The figures below outline the “notional” cost value of lost productivity associated with granting of an additional day across our workforce. Staffing Group Estimated lost productivity hours* Estimated cost of lost productivity hours** Estimated cost of lost productivity hours inclusive of Employer On- Costs Single Status, Craft & Chief Officers 26,862 £521k £677k Teachers 10,281 £417k £585k *It should be noted that working patterns are not held for part-time teachers and 147 single status employees the productivity hours have been estimated by distributing contracted hours evenly across the five working days. ** For Teachers records this incorporates daily rate of pay plus the holiday accrual as their annual salary is made up of 195 working days and 40 days annual leave.

Essential Services Cover Costs Where services continue to operate, there are no additional staffing costs incurred as staff will take time off at a later date. Other financial implications arising from contract arrangements not needing to be delivered are as follows: Tayside Contracts Until the position of each of the three Local Authorities is known, Tayside Contracts are unable to confirm what arrangements will be applied to their staff groups.
