"(3.) Unless the Commission in special circumstances otherwise determines, an officer who performs the duties of a higher office the maximum standard salary of which exceeds £764 per annum in the case of a male officer or £721 per annum in the case of a female officer, for a period of less than a week, shall not be paid an allowance, and that period shall not be included in any period of service for the purposes of this regulation.

"(4.) An officer who performs the duties of a higher office for a period of less than one day shall not be entitled to payment for that period and that period shall not be service in the higher office for the purposes of this regulation.

"(5.) Where an officer temporarily performs the duties of a higher office for a continuous period of more than twelve months after the date on which he first commenced to perform those duties, he may, after the completion of each period of twelve months' performance of those duties, be granted increments of allowance of the same amounts as are payable as increments of salary to an officer occupying the higher office.

"(6.) Where an officer temporarily performs the duties of a higher office in periods that are not continuous but aggregate in the total a period of more than twelve months, he may, at the completion of each such total period of twelve months, be granted an increment of allowance of the same amount as is payable as an increment of salary to an officer occupying the higher office if—

(a) in the case of the first increment, the total period of twelve months' performance of higher duties is completed within the period of twenty-four months that immediately precedes that completion; and

(b) in the case of a subsequent increment the total requisite period of performance of higher duties is completed within the period of time equal to twice the total period of performance of duties of the higher office that immediately precedes that completion.

"(7.) For the purposes of the last two preceding sub-regulations, performance of the duties of another office having the same classification as, or a higher classification than, the higher office shall be deemed to be performance of the duties of the higher office.

"(8.) Paragraph (b) of sub-regulation (6.) of this regulation does not operate so as to authorize the grant of an increment to an officer unless he has received the first or a subsequent increment in the allowance payable under this regulation for a period of twelve months.

(c) sick leave granted in any subsequent period of twelve months' service in the higher office not exceeding a period calculated on the basis of two weeks' leave for each completed period of twelve months' service in the higher office, less any period of leave granted during previous service in the higher office.

"(11.) Where an officer who is performing the duties of a higher office is permanently promoted to that office, he shall not suffer any reduction in his remuneration, and he may receive the same increments as if he had, during the period of his temporary service in the higher office, been the permanent occupant of that office.

"(12.) Where an officer is permanently promoted to an office and, prior to his promotion, has performed the duties of a higher office of the same classification as the office to which he is promoted but is not

performing those duties when he is promoted, the period for which he performed those duties shall be taken into account for the purposes of his incremental advancement in the same manner as it would have been taken into account under sub-regulation (5.) of this regulation if he had not been promoted.

"(13.) Where an officer who is, or has been, performing the duties of a higher office is promoted to an office which is of lower classification than the office the duties of which he is or has been temporarily performing, his remuneration upon promotion shall be the same as the remuneration which he would have received had his period of service in the higher office been service in the office of lower classification.

"(14.) Where an officer performs the duties of a higher office and is in receipt of a salary above the minimum salary payable to the occupant of the higher office, he shall, upon commencing to perform the duties of the higher office, be paid allowance at such rate as will cause the total remuneration to be the same as that which would have been payable under regulation 34 of these Regulations had he been permanently promoted to the higher office.

"(15.) Where an officer temporarily performs the duties of an office the conditions of service in which differ from those in the office normally occupied by the officer, he shall be subject to the first-mentioned conditions as though he were the permanent occupant of the office.

"(16.) Where an officer temporarily performs the duties of a higher office the maximum standard salary of which, including allowances in the nature of salary, is not less than £1,184 per annum in the case of a male officer or £1,141 per annum in the case of a female officer, the preceding provisions of this regulation do not apply, but the officer may be paid in respect of the performance of those duties an allowance of such amount, and subject to such conditions, as the Commission determines.

"(17.) Where an officer temporarily performs the whole or part of the duties of an office occupied by a senior officer, he may be paid in respect of the performance of those duties such allowance (if any) as the Commission determines.
