* Notified in the Commonwealth Gazette on    , 1943.

  Statutory Rules 1941, No. 273, as amended by Statutory Rules 1942, Nos. 108 and 279.

 

these Regulations shall, subject to this regulation, be paid the minimum salary specified in that Table opposite to that office, or, where a maximum salary is also so specified, such higher salary (not exceeding that maximum salary) as the authority determines.

“(3.) The authority may, if it is satisfied with the conduct, diligence and efficiency of an officer, grant such annual increments (if any) as are specified in the Third Schedule, or in Table A in the appropriate Schedule, as the case may be, opposite to the office occupied by that officer, but so that the annual salary of the officer shall not exceed the maximum salary so specified.”.

Overtime.

3. Regulation 11 of the National Security (Staff of War-time Authorities) Regulations is amended by omitting from paragraph (b) of sub-regulation (5.) the words “or a holiday”.

Good Friday or the next succeeding Saturday or Monday,

the twenty-fifth day of April,

the anniversary of the birthday of the Sovereign,

Christmas Day or the day next succeeding, or

any day observed as a holiday in lieu of any of those days,

the officer shall be paid, in addition to his salary—

(a) if his salary does not exceed Four hundred and fifty pounds per annum,

(i) for the work during a full day—an amount equal to his salary for one day; and

(ii) for the work during any period less than a full day, an amount which bears the same proportion to his salary for one day as the time worked bears to the hours of duty on one day, but so that the amount received shall not be less than one-half of his salary for one day; or

(b) in any other case, be granted time off for a period equal to the period during which the work was performed but not less than a half day.

“(2.) Where an officer is required by the Secretary to perform work on any day (not being a day specified in the last preceding sub-regulation) which is observed as a holiday at the place where the work is performed, and which the authority determines shall be deemed to be a holiday for the purposes of these Regulations, the authority may grant to the officer time-off for the same period as that during which the work was performed, but so that the time-off so granted shall not exceed four days in any calendar year.”.
