Overview
Statutory Rules 1936, No. 130, titled "Regulations under the Defence Act 1903-1934," was enacted by the Governor-General, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, to amend the Civilian Staff Regulations. This legislative instrument was introduced to address the need for updating the salary structures for members of the Civil Teaching Staff within the Defence framework. The Regulations modify the salary limits for Professors and Lecturers, setting specific minimum and maximum salaries and defining the increments and long service allowances for these positions. This legislative action underscores the intent to ensure that remuneration for civilian staff within the Defence sector is appropriately aligned with their roles and years of service.
Scope and Application
The Statutory Rules 1936, No. 130, made under the Defence Act 1903-1934, focus on amendments to the Civilian Staff Regulations, specifically relating to the remuneration of Civil Teaching Staff. These regulations apply to individuals employed in civilian roles within the Defence sector, particularly those designated as Professors and Lecturers within the Civil Teaching Staff. The changes outlined in the regulations pertain to the adjustment of salary limits and increments for these positions, ensuring that remuneration aligns with the roles' responsibilities and service durations. Geographically, the regulations have a national reach, applying across the Commonwealth of Australia, thereby impacting civilian staff employed in Defence across the entire country. There are no explicit exclusions or exemptions mentioned within the text, implying that the salary amendments apply universally to the specified civilian staff within the Defence sector. The regulations extend their application by modifying existing sub-regulations, thereby indirectly influencing the broader framework of civilian staff compensation within the Defence environment.
Key Provisions
The Regulations made under the Defence Act 1903-1934, particularly in Statutory Rules 1936, No. 130, primarily amend the Civilian Staff Regulations by adjusting the salary limits for certain members of the Civil Teaching Staff. Specifically, Regulation 117b is modified by adding the figure "119c" after "117a" in sub-regulation (1) (referenced in paragraph 1). Furthermore, Regulation 119c is amended by omitting sub-regulation (1)(a) and replacing it with a new sub-regulation that details the salary limits for Professors and Lecturers within the Civil Teaching Staff (referenced in paragraph 2). This includes setting specific minimum and maximum salaries and detailing the increments for these positions.
These Regulations impose clear obligations on the relevant parties, primarily ensuring that the salary limits and increments for Civil Teaching Staff are adhered to. The amendment necessitates that the remuneration of Professors and Lecturers be structured according to the specified minimum and maximum figures and the outlined increments. This includes biennial increments of £25 for Professors and three biennial increments of £25, along with a long service increment of £25 after ten years of service, for Lecturers.
Failure to comply with these Regulations could lead to various consequences, although the specific legal repercussions are not detailed within the text provided. Generally, breaches of such statutory requirements might result in administrative or disciplinary actions against the entities or individuals responsible. Additionally, if these Regulations are part of a broader legislative framework, penalties might include fines, legal action, or other sanctions as prescribed by the overarching Defence Act 1903-1934 or other relevant legislation. The exact nature and severity of these penalties would depend on the specific provisions of the Defence Act and any additional statutory instruments or case law.
