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.
