    HCMP4920/2002

    On the true construction of CSR 678 the superior may require an officer to be on call at a specified location including his quarters; being required to remain in quarters to be continuously and immediately available is consistent with on-call status and does not convert the time into overtime or stand-by nor convert the quarters into the officer's place of work. Therefore the plaintiff's night responsibilities were on-call duties within CSR 678 and not overtime or stand-by.
