The Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB) makes recommendations to the Government on the appropriate level of pay and allowances for police officers, including overtime payments.

The PRRB gathers and invites parties to submit evidence to inform their decisions. This includes both written and oral evidence from the

Government, police employers and police staff associations. They weigh the evidence, consider independent research, and formulate detailed.

The Government will give very careful consideration to any recommendations the PRRB makes on payments for planned overtime.
