Overview
The Statutory Rules 1907 No. 118, enacted under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1902, amends the minimum, scale of additions, and maximum yearly rates of pay for various positions within the public service. This regulation was made by the Governor-General in Council, and it came into effect immediately. The changes primarily involve adjustments to the remuneration of specific roles, such as the Foreman Painter and Telephone Monitor, reflecting the evolving requirements and responsibilities of these positions within the public service. While the policy objectives are not explicitly stated in the text, the amendments appear aimed at ensuring equitable compensation for public service employees, aligning with the broader objective of maintaining an efficient and effective public service.
Scope and Application
The Statutory Rules of 1907, No. 118, made under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1902, modify the regulations concerning the pay rates for specific positions within the public service of Australia. This legislation applies to individuals employed in designated roles such as Foreman Painter, Telephone Monitor, Sailmaker Foreman, and Saddler and Harness-maker Foreman across various government departments. The amendment primarily focuses on adjusting the minimum and maximum yearly rates of pay and the scale of additions for these positions. The regulation impacts all employees in the specified offices, thereby ensuring a consistent adjustment in remuneration across the Commonwealth. The amendments do not specify exclusions or exemptions, implying that all individuals in these roles are subject to the changes regardless of their department or location within the Commonwealth. These regulations are applicable nationally and are intended to provide uniform standards for public service remuneration as prescribed by the Commonwealth government.
Key Provisions
The regulation amends Regulation 101 of the Regulations under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1902, making changes to the pay scales for certain positions within the Commonwealth public service. Specifically, the regulation revises the minimum, scale of additions, and maximum yearly rates of pay for the positions of Foreman Painter and Telephone Monitor (paragraphs (a) and (b)). It also omits the pay scale for the Office of Telephone Monitor (paragraph (c)) and introduces new pay scales for the Offices of Sailmaker Foreman and Saddler and Harness-maker Foreman (paragraph (d)). These changes are detailed in the table provided within the regulation.
The obligations imposed by this regulation on the relevant departments and entities include adherence to the new pay scales for the specified positions. The affected departments must ensure that they are complying with the updated pay rates and scale of additions as outlined in the regulation. Failure to do so could result in non-compliance with the legislative requirements governing the remuneration of public service employees.
There are no explicit offences or penalties outlined in the regulation itself. However, the non-compliance with the legislative requirements for remuneration could potentially lead to administrative or legal consequences for the relevant departments. In cases of non-compliance, the matter may be subject to review or investigation under the relevant provisions of the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1902 or other applicable laws. The specific consequences would depend on the nature and extent of the non-compliance, and could include corrective actions, financial penalties, or other administrative measures as deemed appropriate by the relevant authorities.
