Article 1

Within the limits laid down in Article 48, overtime worked by a staff member in grade AST 1 to AST 4 shall entitle him to compensatory leave or to remuneration as follows:

1. (a)

   For each hour of overtime, he shall be entitled to one hour and a half off as compensatory leave; if the hour of overtime is worked between 22.00 and 7.00 or on a Sunday or on a public holiday, the entitlement to compensatory leave shall be two hours; in the granting of compensatory leave, account shall be taken of the requirements of the service and the preference of the staff member concerned.
