Actuals
Our MOD agency (guess which one!) went over to actuals about 7 years ago I think. T&S cost have risen considerably and the bean counters are happier now that they have a paper trail to follow. The problem is that staff are generally unwilling to undertake detachments to cover for sickness, leave etc at other stations, so surprise, surprise....a detached duty allowance has been introduced as an incentive to detach somewhere. Stupid!! Why not just ditch the actuals and go back to a rate. Save a LOT of time and money.
