I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of where it is written about standby-duties and their governence.
Situation is......
I have one lad on standby duty over Xmas. Now, normally his standby period would be when he's at work and he is covering that week inc the weekend. However, this duty is over Xmas period. He has been told to put leave in and will only be credited it back if he is called in.
Now, my grievance on this is that he is at home but under restricted movement and has within a time period to report back to the camp. I see both sides, sort of. He's at home with family etc, but only if he lives within a certain time restraint of getting back. If not, he would have to get accom on camp. Other sections and Stations have people on standby who either do not have to put leave in for that period, or will be credited the full lot back after Xmas regardless of whether they are called in or not. There is no issue in doing the duty, just seems unfair to have a leave of absence in, but he is restricted in that absence. Surely then he is not actually absent from duty? Leave is quoted from JSP 760, an authorised period of absence of one or more days up to 38 days including Public Holidays (PH) plus any Annual Leave carried forward per leave year which runs from 1 April to 31 March for all Service personnel.
Why then does he have to put leave in when he is still on a restricted duty
This law should cover everyone regardless of where they live, work or length of Standby.
I'm not looking for a debate on whether or not he should or should not get his leave entitlement back, but where can I find the JSP, AP written "law" on this?? Anyone know.
