In my experience, Planning Officers who attend committees are not paid overtime. It is a recognised element of the job, i.e. within my contract it always said that I was expected to occasionally attend meetings and committees outside of normal working hours, and the hours I spent attending such committees were usually simply part of the hours that made up my working week. Indeed, I don't know of any Council that has paid, within the last 10 years, staff overtime when attending committee, so unfortunately David's post is erroneous on that point. |
