Advice on allowances
Hi everyone,
I have recently started a new posting, and as part of our tasking we are required to cover a 12 hour taskline from 2000 to 0800. Obviously, to comply with crew duty rules, this involves sleeping during the day, which results in the crews missing most (if not all) meals in their respective messes. It seems to me that we should be able to claim some sort of allowance for this (perhaps missed meals allowances or DS).
I am hoping that someone here has experience of a similar situation, and may be able to offer advice. The duty period is a minimum of one week at a time, so crews can end up spending a substantial amount of money on food. I have obviously read JSP 752, but as I don'y have a degree in law, this has proved fruitless!
Thankyou in advance for any help you can give,
TheBoat.
