No did not get a copy,but lets look at this paper....Now if you attend a meeting(group/vfba/etc) and there are paid staff there and say the meeting starts at 2000hrs and ends at 2300 hrs you then drive home say 1.5hrs..as a volunteer you have to get up the next day do your normal job and the paid staff members gets time off and does not have to show up to work till later in the day now where is the logict in that??
And Blinky - if your employer sent you to do something after hours, would there not be conditions attached - i.e. time off in lieu, overtime etc (unless you are self employed and then you make the decisions).
Would be nice to see our staff be offered over time instead of having to take time off - but they are stuck in the political and financial management of government.
I applaud them for the extra hours they put in, volunteer for, where they are not paid, not recognised and like you and me many of them are also volunteers so they are well aware what we go through and the time commitments we give!
