Area Rate

[An example of how the key metrics used to determine the Unavailability Deduction is calculated is provided as follows. This is based on the assumption that all areas require a 2 hour rectification with a potential maximum of 12 Deduction Periods per day (Based on a 24/7 requirement)

If an Area with a Weighting Factor of 30 (such as a Custody Suite) is unavailable within Station 1 for 3 Deduction Periods (i.e. 6 hours being 3 deduction periods based on 2 hr rectifications) the deduction can be calculated as:

Where:

The Unavailability Deduction would therefore be equal to 30 multiplied by £2 multiplied by 3, which equals £180. The deduction for Unavailability will apply each time that a rectification period relating to the same instance of Unavailability is missed. In this example one failure to rectify within a 2 hour period would have equalled a deduction of £60, once the next two hour rectification is missed the deduction increases to £120 and then once the third rectification of two hours is missed it increases as shown to £180.]
