SUFFOLK FIRE SERVICE

TO: Firefighter Hyde
Blue Watch

FROM: ADO Saward

DATE: 7 June 1999

Application for Time in Lieu

I refer to your memorandum dated 26 May, in which you request time in lieu for time spent assisting Sub Officer Wigglesworth in connection with his discipline case.

I would refer you to General Order AA19 which deals with time off for trade union officials. This order is relevant since you seem to be claiming time off in your capacity as a FBU accused friend for Sub Officer Wigglesworth.

Paragraph 4.2.3. is clear that time off in lieu will not normally be given for duties undertaken when the individual would otherwise have been off duty.

The provisions of paragraph 4.2.4. do not apply either, because in none of the instances you cite were you called on by the Brigade to attend these meetings.

Your application for time in lieu is therefore refused.

G.E. Saward
Assistant Divisional Officer
