8.	Eligibility for overtime duty meal allowance 

An officer is eligible to be paid a meal allowance of $18.60 on and from 19 April 2005, or $19.30 on and from 19 April 2006, if they: 

•	are required after the completion of their normal hours of duty to perform duty after a meal break and are not entitled to payment for that break; 
•	perform overtime duty without a break, after the completion of their ordinary hours, up to the end of or after the meal period which occurs next after the completion of their ordinary hours; 
•	perform overtime duty before their ordinary hours of duty commence and are granted a meal break before commencement and are not entitled to payment for that break. Meal periods are between 7.00am and 9.00am, 12 noon and 2.00pm, 6.00pm and 7.00pm and 12 midnight and 1.00am; or 
•	perform overtime duty on a day they are not normally required to work and, during the period of overtime duty, they have an unpaid meal break. This includes officers rostered for duty for six days and required to perform overtime duty after 2 pm after having an unpaid meal break, on their regular half day off.

An officer who is required to perform duty under the first three dots points above is not entitled to be paid for the meal break unless the relevant Chief Executive is satisfied the officer performing that duty cannot reasonably be expected to return home for a meal in the time allocated for the meal break. 

If a three-course meal is available to the officer at a canteen, cafeteria or dining room conducted, controlled or assisted by the Commonwealth or ACT Government, the meal allowance is the maximum amount for which a three-course meal is obtainable.
