Hours of Work
Hours of Work are the approved daily and weekly duty periods assigned to a public officer, including any rostered, shift, flex, or special work arrangements recognized by the employer.
What this controls
Hours of work define the baseline for punctuality, overtime, rest periods, attendance recording, and service delivery expectations. They must be communicated clearly and supported by schedules, rosters, or circulars where different categories of officers work under different patterns.
Why it matters
In payroll and compliance terms, you cannot determine lateness, overtime, or unauthorized absence unless the underlying hours of work are established and documented.
