Public Holidays and Rest Days

Subject to the exigencies of duty, an officer will be granted two rest days each week and a day's leave on each public holiday.

Rest Day working

If an officer is required to work on a rostered rest day, they will be granted:

• (If less than 15 days' notice) an allowance at the appropriate rest day rate. The appropriate rest day rate is a sixteenth of a day's pay for each completed 15 minutes of duty.

• (In any other case) another rest day, notified to the officer within 4 days of the request.

Where an officer received less than 8 days' notice of the requirement to work, they are entitled to time off in lieu equivalent to double time.

Public Holiday working

If an officer is required to work on a Public Holiday, they will be granted:

• (If less than 8 days' notice) an allowance at the appropriate rate plus a day off in lieu, notified to the officer within 4 days of the request.

• (In all other cases), an allowance at the appropriate rate

An officer who is required to work on a public holiday can, within 28 days of the day in question, elect to receive time off in lieu equivalent to double time.
