PROVISIONAL REGULATION UNDER THE COMMONWEALTH PUBLIC SERVICE ACT 1902-1911.

I, THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL in and over the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, hereby certify that, on account of urgency, the following Regulation under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1902-1911 should come into immediate operation, and make the Regulation to come into operation forthwith as a Provisional Regulation

Dated this twenty-seventh day of February, One thousand nine hundred and thirteen.

DENMAN,

Governor-General.

By His Excellency’s Command,

W. M. HUGHES,

For the Prime Minister

 

Regulation 57 made under the provisions of the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1902is repealed, and a new Regulation in the following terms is made in lieu thereof:—

57.—All increments shall be discretionary, and subject to the approval of the Commissioner and to the necessary appropriation by Parliament.

Increments shall be payable from the first day of the month following the date they accrue, provided that any increase in salary accruing through an officer reaching 21 years of age shall be paid from the officer’s 21st birthday.

Where an officer receives no increase of pay on transfer, the time served in his former office may be counted in reckoning the interval for increment.

All departmental recommendations for increments shall be forwarded by the Chief Officer to the Inspector for transmission to the Commissioner.

Where an increment has been deferred for reasons other than misconduct or inefficiency, the Commissioner may determine that, for purposes of seniority and future advancement the increment shall be deemed to have been granted from the date on which, but for such deferment, it would have become due.
