Back to all Motions

Decision
Carried

This Service Group Conference instructs the Police Staff Service Group Executive to take the necessary steps through PSSC, ACPO and HMIC to work towards the removal of mandatory punitive sanctions, when used as part of managing attendance policies. Such punitive measures as bans on overtime, promotion and career changes. This would remove the principal inherent in such policies that all are guilty of malingering and would return to the belief that each individual and each case is separate and deserves due consideration.
