An employee authorised to perform duties of a higher remuneration band may be paid an allowance if performing the duties and carrying out the substantive responsibilities of that position, and employed in such position for 5 consecutive working days (or 40 consecutive work hours if working rosters). A lesser rate will apply, at 60% of the full rate, if an employee is required to undertake only some of the duty and responsibility but must be agreed with the employee prior to commencing duty. Police may approve payment of a special duties allowance if the payment of a higher duties allowance is not justified. The payment of HDA is 5% of the mid-point of the position acting into, where relieving one band higher, and 8% of the mid-point of the position acting into when relieving two or more bands higher. If relieving above band J HDA will be the minimum increase on promotion provisions for senior manager agreements at the time. Where an employee in bands A-D temporarily acts into a shift position of the same band the additional payment will be the difference between the employee’s current step and the same step in the shift band.

However, if the employee has been receiving HDA for the previous 12 months the allowance is payable for up to five days of absence irrespective of resuming the role after they return from leave.) HDA shall be paid on each single shift worked when an employee immediately assumes the full duties and responsibility of the higher banded operational position where the incumbent is absent.
