A question to the BiB:

What does 'all leave cancelled' mean? Does it mean you have to come home from your holiday abroad?

If you are going on holiday in a few days time do we, the taxpayers, pick up the bill for a cancelled holiday?

How much is Dubya costing us?

As an inspector I don't get paid overtime. I was given 'compensation' in my wages but I had used all mine up within nine weeks. I therefore worked 12 hours on Boxing Day and New Year's Day without compensation apart from being allowed to take the two days off at a later date, although when is a question I cannot answer.

Normally annual leave is not interferred with but as I was a regular in court - I was my Force's identification officer and ran all the ID parades - I was called in from holiday three times one year. That was bad enough, but I did not give evidence in any of the cases.

Overtime? What the bloody hell is that?

5.—(1) Where a member of a police force has been recalled to duty from a period of absence from duty to which this paragraph applies, he shall be granted, in compensation for being recalled to duty on any day during that period which is a day of annual leave or a day taken off in lieu of overtime—
(a) if he was so recalled to duty for 1 or 2 days (whether or not in the latter case those days formed a single period), 2 days' annual leave in lieu of each such day for which he was so recalled; or
(b) if he was so recalled to duty for 3 or more days (whether or not forming a single period), 2 days' annual leave in lieu of each of the first 2 such days for which he was so recalled, and 1½ days' annual leave in lieu of each such day for which he was so recalled thereafter.

(2) This paragraph applies to a period of absence from duty of 3 or more days, where at least one of those days is a day of annual leave and the other days, if not days of annual leave, are rostered rest days, days taken off in lieu of overtime, public holidays (or days taken off in lieu thereof) or monthly leave days, or any combination thereof.

More importantly.

If the strain on police resources is such that all leave is cancelled, does this mean that no coppers are going to be spared to operate speed traps?
