Regulation 66 made under the provisions of the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1902 is repealed, and a new Regulation in the following terms is made in line thereof:—

66. (1) Where an officer, whose ordinary duties require him to work on week days, is required to work on Sunday, the Permanent Head, or Chief Officer, may authorize the payment to the officer for the Sunday work of additional pay in accordance with this Regulation.

(2) In cases where the officer is on duty on seven or more consecutive days, in consequence of having to work on the Sunday, he shall be allowed one and a half day’s pay for a full day, and a proportionate amount for less than a full day.

(3) In cases where the officer is on duty on not more than six consecutive days, in consequence of having to work on the Sunday, he shall be allowed half a day’s additional pay for a full day, and a proportionate part for less than a full day.

Provided that in all cases where an officer resides on the premises where his duties are performed, and his attendances for work on Sundays are intermittent, or for brief periods, he shall not be entitled to claim any additional pay for these attendances, except in such cases as may be approved for payment by the Commissioner. In any such case, the minimum payment for attendance shall be 2s.

(4) Where, in any Department of the Public Service, the performance of Sunday duty is necessitated by the public requirements, every officer called upon for such duty shall be liable therefor under the conditions herein; provided, however, that any officer possessing conscientious scruples against Sunday duty may apply for permission to furnish a substitute.

(5) This Regulation shall not apply to officers stationed at lighthouses.
