Amendment of Public Service Regulation 102.

Public Service Regulation 102 as it at present stands, reads as follows:—

“Any officer transferred or promoted at his own request to any office or grade in the General Division shall thereupon be junior to any officer already in such office or grade, but shall be paid an amount not less than that which he was receiving immediately before such transfer or promotion provided it be not greater than the maximum rate for his new office or grade.”

It is recommended that the above regulation be repealed, and that a new regulation in the following terms be made and substituted therefor:—

“In the case of an officer transferred or promoted to any office or grade in the General Division, his relative seniority with the officers employed in such office or grade shall be determined by the salary paid to him, and by the length of time during which he has received such salary. The salary to be paid to such officer upon transfer or promotion shall be not less than that received immediately prior to his removal; provided that it shall not exceed the maximum rate for his new office or grade.”

 

By Authority: Robt. S. Brain, Government Printer, Melbourne.
