Dated this second day of April,1924.

Amendment of Treasury Regulations Under the Audit Act 1901‑1920.

(Statutory Rules 1917, No. 159, as amended to this date.)

Regulation 52 is omitted and the following regulation inserted in its stead:—

“52. Accounts for salary, wages and allowances in the nature of salary shall be prepared as follows:—

(a) (i) The amount payable for a day is to be computed by dividing the annual rate by 313, the result being multiplied by twelve to ascertain the amount payable for a fortnight.

(ii) Where officers are to be paid for a period less than a fortnight, payment is to be made on an hourly basis, the hourly rate of pay being computed by multiplying a day’s pay by twelve and dividing by the number of hours prescribed for a fortnight’s work.

(b) Where wages are payable at a weekly rate, the payment for portion of a week is to be computed by dividing the amount of wages for a week by the average number of hours ordinarily constituting a week’s work, and multiplying by the number of hours for which payment is made.

(c) As regards officers whose attendance on Sundays and holiday may be required without extra the daily rate of pay is to be computed by dividing the annual rate of pay by 365, the result being multiplied by fourteen to ascertain the amount payable for a fortnight. The hourly rate of pay shall be ascertained by dividing a fortnight’s pay by the number of hours prescribed for a fortnight’s work.

(d) In cases in which the Treasurer so decides, one month’s pay is to be calculated as one‑twelfth of the annual rate. Payments for portions of a month are to be computed by multiplying the amount of pay for a month by the number of days comprised in the period for which payment is to be made and dividing by the number of days in the month.”
