Amendment of Public Service Regulation 142.

Regulation 142, made under the provisions of the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1902, is amended, and the following Regulation substituted in lieu thereof:—

142. Transfers from the General to the Professional or Clerical Division of Officers who have qualified by passing the prescribed examination, or are eligible by virtue of qualifications preserved to them by their classification, shall be made in accordance with relative fitness for the duties to be performed. An officer, upon transfer, shall continue to receive the salary paid to him in the General Division, provided that, if the Commissioner so determine, such officer may be granted, either upon transfer, or at a later date to be fixed, the salary of the subdivision next above that corresponding to the salary received by him in the General Division, such salary not being the minimum salary payable under section 25 of the Act.

Provided that in any case where, in the opinion of the Commissioner, an officer who was transferred from the General Division prior to the 11th day of October, 1908, has been prejudicially affected by the subsequent transfer of other officers, the Commissioner may determine the salary to be henceforth paid such officer, and the date for purposes of seniority or future advancement from which such salary shall be deemed to have been paid.

The seniority of officers transferred from the General Division shall be determined by subdivision of class and date of entrance to such subdivision.
