PART 4PAY
OvertimeI117
1
Subject to the provisions of this regulation, the Scottish Ministers must determine the circumstances and manner in which a constable is to be compensated in respect of time—
a
for which that constable remains on duty after that constable’s tour of duty ends;
b
for which that constable is recalled between two tours of duty; or
c
which forms part of a tour of duty which that constable is required to begin earlier than the rostered time without due notice and on a day when that constable has already completed that constable’s normal daily period of duty,
and such time is referred to in this regulation as “overtime”.
2
For the purposes of this regulation—
“due notice” means notice given at least 8 hours before the revised starting time of the rostered tour of duty in question;
“normal daily period of duty” is construed in accordance with regulation 14;
“recall” does not include a warning to be in readiness for duty if required; and
“tour of duty”, in relation to a constable of the Police Service for whom variable shift or flexible working arrangements are in operation under regulation 14(1)(c), means rostered shift.
3
In making a determination under paragraph (1), the Scottish Ministers may confer on the chief constable discretion to—
a
fix the day on which a period commences for the purposes of the determination;
b
fix the period within which time off in compensation for overtime is to be granted;
c
allow time in addition to that specified in the determination to be taken into account in computing any period of overtime.
