Circular

No 7993

 

Sir,

I am directed to inform you that the Board has laid down the principle in regard to payments to officers for overtime work that such payments shall be calculated on the basis of per cent per hour on the Annual Salary of the Officer making the claim. It is requested that in future all Accounts for overtime may be made out accordingly and that the following scale may be observed when a salary does not amount to an even hundred pounds — viz.

between £100 and £125 1/3

between £125 and £150 1/6

between £150 and £175 1/9 and so on

I have &c

T. Wilson
