Amendments of Commonwealth Public Service Regulations.

The Commonwealth Public Service Regulations, 1913 (Statutory Rules, 1913, No, 341) are amended as follows:—

(1) Sub-Regulation (1) of Regulation 66 is amended by inserting after the words “Chief Officer” the following:—

“or any officer approved by the Permanent Head or Chief Officer.”

(2) Sub-Regulation (1) of Regulation 77 is amended by adding the following:—

“except in the case of single-day absences not exceeding three in any twelve months, when, unless otherwise, directed by the Chief Officer, the production of a medical certificate shall not be necessary.”

(3) Regulation 81 is repealed, and the following is substituted in its stead:—

“No leave on account of illness shall be granted with pay if the sickness or ill-health has been caused by the misconduct of the officer, to satisfy himself on which point the Chief Officer may send a special medical officer to attend on and examine such officer at his residence. A fee of £1 1s., or such other fee as is hereinafter provided, shall be paid to the special medical officer for his attendance and report, and if such report is, in the opinion of the Chief Officer, not favorable to the officer concerned, or if the officer is absent from his residence at the time of the medical officer’s visit without, in the opinion of the Chief Officer, reasonable cause therefor, the amount of the fee so paid shall be

deducted from any money which is or becomes payable to the said officer by the Government. The same practice may be followed where an officer is suspected of absenting himself from duty without sufficient cause.
