Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing, officers 21 years of age and over shall be paid salary at the rate of £110 per annum if occupying positions of Boy on Launch, Female Assistant (printing), Female Assistant (quarantine), Messenger, Pensions Receipt Sorter, Notes Sorter, or Telephonist, and at the rate of £126 per annum if occupying any other position in Grade I. or II. designated in the foregoing Schedule, but the payment of such salary under this provision shall not be taken into consideration for purposes of seniority or future advancement.

Except where otherwise provided advancement from grade to grade shall be dependent upon the occurrence of vacancies in the higher grades, or upon alteration of the classification of an office.

 

The grade of an officer under the provisions of this Regulation shall be that corresponding to his designation, provided that when the same designation occurs in two or more grades, the grade of the officer shall be that corresponding to the rate of salary received by him prior to the issue of this Regulation.

Notwithstanding anything in the Schedules contained in this Regulation in any case where the Governor-General, on the recommendation of the Commissioner, directs that an office shall be classified in any particular grade, the officer occupying such office may, subject to the approval of the Commissioner, be advanced to the minimum salary of such grade.
