What is Time Off In Lieu (TOIL)?
A workplace arrangement where employees receive paid time off instead of overtime pay for extra hours worked beyond their standard contractual hours, commonly used in salaried and public sector roles.
Why it matters in hiring
Time Off In Lieu (TOIL) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
