Amendment of Commonwealth Public Service Regulations.

Regulation 61 of the Public Service Regulations is amended, by omitting therefrom paragraph (k) of sub-regulation (7) and inserting the following paragraph in its stead:—

“(k) When overtime is computed on a weekly basis and an officer is absent on one or more days or half-days during the week on authorized leave or on account of public holidays or half-holidays, deductions as hereinafter provided shall be made from the number of hours to be worked before overtime can be claimed:—

(i) In the case of officers whose daily hours of duty are clearly defined by regulation, schedule, or otherwise, the deduction shall be the time which the officers would ordinarily have worked on such days or half-days;

(ii) In the case of officers whose daily hours of duty vary with the volume of work to be performed, a deduction at the rate of one-twelfth for a public half-holiday and one-sixth for a public holiday shall be made; provided that when a public holiday is proclaimed on a day on which an officer would ordinarily be required to attend for only portion of a day the deduction shall be the time which such officer would ordinarily have worked on that day.”
