2.6 REQUIRED TO WORK ON A PUBLIC HOLIDAY
(a) Compensation for public holiday working applies to constables and sergeants. Inspecting and superintending ranks are entitled to another rest day. Part-time workers are not required to work 40 hours per week before being compensated for working on a public holiday.
(b) To help determine where days start and end it is important to note that the force day starts at 0700 unless otherwise determined by the chief constable.
