Yeah I understand the whole driving breaks and wtd breaks just wasn’t 100% what effect POA had on them, I’ve read in other threads of other people not using POA full stop, is there any reason for this?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes, if you were salaried based on a set working week, whatever POA you counted wouldn’t necessarily be counted (depending what your company is like, pound of flesh etc, some companies don’t recognise POA at all), so you could end up working 60 hours actual work (if you booked 12 hours POA) and yet they could book you down as a 48 hour week, so you’ve effectively given them 12 hours free.
Some other companies pay very high wages for stand down time, ie over £100 a day, some pay full average, so twice a year they get an extra week or so paid holiday to bring their hours back down, if they booked POA they might not get that extra time off.
