Amendment of Commonwealth Public Service Regulations.

(Statutory Rules 1913, No. 341.)

Regulation 188 of the Public Service Regulations is amended by omitting paragraph (a) and inserting in its stead the following paragraph:—

“(a)Where the law of a State required that they should assure their lives and increase the amount of assurance from time to time, they shall continue to keep up such assurance and increase the amount of assurance from time to time as if their service in the Commonwealth were a continuation of their service in the State, and whenever any such officers are transferred or promoted to offices the maximum salary of which is higher than that of the offices from which they were transferred or promoted, they shall increase the amount of their assurance in accordance with the scale prescribed in Regulation 171, or as the Commissioner otherwise determines:—

Provided that—

(1) where the maximum salary of any office is increased by an award of the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration or by an amendment of the Regulations an officer holding that office who immediately prior to the increase was assured in accordance with this regulation, shall not be required by reason of such increase to increase the amount of his assurance; and

(2) any officer who, on or after the 6th August, 1915, and before the commencement of this paragraph, increased the amount of his assurance in accordance with the law of a State in consequence of his salary having been raised by Award of the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration or by amendment of Public Service Regulations, may be allowed to reduce the amount of his assurance to the amount for which he would have been required to assure had this paragraph been in force during that period, if he makes application to the Chief Officer for permission so to reduce the amount of his assurance within three months after the commencement of this paragraph, or, if he is a member of the Expeditionary Forces, within three months after the date upon which he resumes duty in the Public Service.”
