whichever is the greater.

“(3.) Where an officer perfoms duty on a Sunday and the whole or part of that duty when aggregated with the duty performed by the officer during the six days immediately preceding that Sunday does not exceed that officer’s normal hours of duty per week, the officer is, by virtue of this sub-regulation, entitled to be paid, in respect of that duty or so much of that duty as, when so aggregated, does not exceed the officer’s normal hours of duty per week, at a rate per hour equal to—
