JUNE 15.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1575

of duty already performed ; and for attendance on
other days in excess of ninety-six hours in two con-
secutive weeks.
(b.) To officers regularly called on to perform telegraph
duties, for press-work only on a Sunday at the follow-
ing offices — namely, Ashburton, Gore, Hamilton,
Hastings, Hawera, Kaikoura, Marton, Masterton,
Palmerston North, Reefton, Rotorua, and Waitara.
The occasional performance of press-work at these
or any offices will not entitle any officer performing
it to payment for overtime.
141. No overtime allowance will be made to officers of
either branch of the service unless the extra attendance exceeds
twenty minutes. Attendance up to forty-five minutes will count
as half an hour ; over forty-five minutes, as one hour. No
overtime will be payable for midnight cable Press attendance.
142. No payment for overtime for services other than
those provided for by these regulations will be allowed except
in cases of extraordinary or exceptional attendance, and then
only when specially approved by the Minister.
143. In lieu of payment for overtime it shall be op-
tional with the Minister to allow an equivalent reduction of
ordinary duty either immediately before or immediately after
the overtime duty is performed.
144. When telegraph officers performing 9-to-5 duty are
specially required to return in the evening for extra duty, and
are unable to get home to tea, the Department will pay for the
actual cost of that meal. A similar payment will be made on
exceptional occasions to postal officers required to give con-
tinuous attendance over and above their ordinary hours of
duty, preventing their getting home to a meal, and to letter-
carriers who are unable to obtain breakfast through unusually
early and continuous attendance. The special authority of the
Secretary is to be obtained in each case.
145. Claims for overtime on Sundays and holidays must
not include midnight cable attendance. Officers performing
Sunday or holiday duty, in addition to midnight cable duty,
are not entitled to overtime payment for the latter.
146. In preparing claims for overtime on Sundays the
overtime is only to count from the time officers are required
to be on duty — namely, 9.30 a.m. and 5 p.m. — unless the
officers are ordered to attend earlier. This instruction must
also be observed in regard to holiday overtime as far as it is
applicable.
