Dear Sub Officer Wigglesworth
OVERTIME CLAIM – 31ST JULY 1998
I refer to the claim you have submitted for 3 hours overtime on the 31st 1998 described by you as: “Recall to duty on the direct orders of ACFO Seager”.
This is a misrepresentation of the circumstances of the service of the charge sheet by ADO Saward on that night. You will recall our telephone conversation where I gave you the choice of receiving the notice either at your home or at the Fire station. It was your choice, not my direct order, that resulted in your attendance at the Fire Station.
“Recall to duty” is a phrase with a specific meaning in the context of the National Joint Council Scheme of Conditions of Service ( The Grey Book). I refer you to page 2.6, paragraph 5, which explains that recall to duty is for the purposes of: “..to assist with a serious incident where it is apparent that his or her services would be of value, and in such circumstances (my italics) to receive payment in accordance with paragraph 12 of Section VI….”.
As the reason for your attendance at Normanshurst on the 31st July was other than as described above, I have issued instructions that your claim for payment for recall to duty be refused.
The circumstances of the evening of the 31st July are more properly covered by paragraph 2(b) of Section II (page 2.4). I have authorised 1 hours compensatory time off in lieu to be added to your time owing record to compensate for the service of the charge sheet outside of normal office hours.
Yours sincerely
