THE Quick Reference Guide to understanding Police Regulations has been updated by the Police Federation of England and Wales<\/p>\n
Allowances, Expenses, Overtime, Sick Leave, Family Leave, Duty Time, Acting Up Allowance, Overtime, Leave and Rest Days all feature.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s part of a new monthly focus on a key theme of police officer entitlements. This will cover subjects including annual leave entitlements, working hours and working away from home.<\/p>\n
The aim is to highlight key issues and to make sure serving officers know exactly what they can claim as part of their role.<\/p>\n
John Apter, National Chair of PFEW, said making sure officers were informed was a key part of the campaign: \u201cEvery day officers across England and Wales go over and above the call of duty to protect the public. It\u2019s essential that they claim their basic entitlements – especially at a time when their hard work and dedication is not being recognised in their pay packets.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue to fight for members\u2019 best interests, but also hope this campaign will help officers to be aware of – and claim – what is rightfully theirs and help them to understand what support is out there.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficers work tirelessly to help the public: that is what they signed up to do and will continue to do, but it is important that if their much-needed day off is cancelled, or they miss an important family event because of work they get that time back or are compensated for it. Being a police officer means other parts of your life are simply put on hold and we need to ensure they are fully supported.\u201d<\/p>\n
