CIVIL SERVICE OVERTIME
Mr. HUMPHREY PAGE asked the Trou
Laurens TV hat is the general rule in the Omi
Service as to payment of officers for overtime ?
2. Are officers in the Post Office treated
differently in such matters from officers in
other departments of the Civil Service
And if so, what is the reason for such
difference'
The TREASURER (Sir Philip Fysh) re
plied Ministers have discouraged payment
for overtime, but as the Customs and post-
offices the hours on duty are at times so con-
to, siderably prolonged that in both departments
the officers are paid overtime on avalon record
Bsnondud by the head of the department and
approved by Ministers Claims oil the over
time of officers mother departments are
spasmodic, but if at any time considerable,
then an award is made The work of many
heads of departments is almost unceasing,
but a consciousness of faithful and capable
discharge of duty is of more value to them
than any overtime pay. (Laughter.)
De. CROWTHER Very good, but they
get no overtime all the same.
