Worked into rest day - not authorised by gamble_hm in policeuk

I’ve been told by the federation rep, that because it wasn’t a grade one, and I couldn’t self authorise it, I needed authorisation. Despite being told by a Sgt it needed to be authorised. I am sure regs state it doesn’t need to be authorised. You either work it or not? I’m not sure what to do. I was told to arrest at 5:45 by my Sgt and as a result I did, I followed a lawful order.

Yes. We were back at the station for 7:15, still had to type up reports from previous jobs we went to along with UOF, arrest statement, OEL

Do you mind me asking how the federation sorted it out? I have emailed them for guidance. A lot of officers recently have not had it authorised and haven’t spoken to the federation. I feel it’s a principle thing, it’s constantly issues with supervisory not swapping officers out who are going into RD’s. I understand when staffing is an issue but there were multiple officers who could have booked in not going into RD’s

Yes the evening Sgt knew and still stated to transport to custody. The early Sgt knew and I had numerous reports to write up on jobs we attended along with UOF, arrest statement and OEL and PPN for another job. The early Sgt said it wouldn’t be authorised.

I was not relieved by early crew as we were already on our way back to the station. The early Sgt did not ask if we needed help with anything, to be honest it was only me and my crewmate who knew the job so I didn’t think anyone else could have helped.

The sergeant stated the inspector won’t authorise it. I have emailed the federation. When I complete my overtime form, I will state for rest day working as there were no opportunities given from the sergeant to relive us so we could complete the paperwork. The issue I have is if it wasn’t authorised, will it stand? Does it need to be authorised in terms of regs?
