Control Room Staff go up a Band 
Control room staff have seen their appeal succeed and have now gone up one band in Scotland and most English Services. Control Room Dispatchers were originally banded into band 3 of A4C and Call Takers in band 2. Working hours
All staff full time will work a basic week of 37.5 hrs.
There is a "phasing in" process in which
full time staff whose hours are slightly higher or lower than this will gradually reduce or increase their
hours over a number of years to get to the standard 37.5hrs. O/T
& Public Holidays
All overtime will be paid at a standard rate of time and a half. All hours worked during public holidays
will be paid at double time. Annual
