EXAMPLES OF CALCULATION OF LONG HOURS GRATUITIES
Example 1: An officer conditioned to a 41 hour week works 27 excess hours in the first 3 weeks of a long hours gratuity period, strikes for 2 days in the fourth week but does not work excess hours on the other 3 days and works 25 excess hours in the remaining 2 weeks. The gratuity is calculated as follows:-
Total hours worked Total hours worked
Weeks 1 2 and 3 Weeks

Average hours work per week = 282 divided by 6 47
Therefore LHG equals 12% of 6 weeks salary which has been adjusted for unpaid absence of 2 days.
Example 2: Circumstances as above, but the officer makes up for the 16 hours on strike by working 16 additional hours on the other 3 days
