Hours of Work Police Custody Officers will be required to work an average of 76 hours per fortnight to be worked over an average of no more than 10 days per fortnight, within the full span of 24 hours on any day. Wherever possible the Employer should roster each Employee a minimum of four rest days in a fortnight, or carry the outstanding balance of those rest days into the following fortnight’s roster. In each financial year a Police Custody Officer is to be rostered two consecutive rest days on at least 15 occasions including, where practicable, 10 weekends: where the Police Custody Officer is absent from work for part of the financial year the requirement shall be on a pro-rata basis. a Police Custody Officer may specifically request a roster pattern that precludes the ability to observe the minimum consecutive rest days rostering. If such a request is granted, the minimum requirements to consecutive rest days rostering will not apply. the Employer may alter a Police Custody Officer’s rest day as a last resort and after consultation with the Police Custody Officer concerned. Where the rest day is altered the Employer shall allocate an alternative rest day within the same fortnight or overtime payments will apply in accordance with clause 41 of Section 1 (Overtime) of this Agreement.
