Overview

The Statutory Rules 1967 No. 18, made under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1966, were enacted to address the need for updating the salary scales of various positions within the Naval Establishments in the states of Victoria and New South Wales. The Regulations were made by the Governor-General in accordance with advice from the Federal Executive Council. This legislative instrument aimed to ensure that the remuneration of personnel in specific roles within the naval service was reflective of contemporary standards, thus maintaining both fairness and competitiveness in the compensation offered. The policy objective was to provide a transparent and fair salary structure that aligns with the evolving economic conditions and the cost of living in the respective states.

Scope and Application

The Statutory Rules 1967 No. 18, made under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1966, amends the Naval Establishments Regulations, specifically addressing the rates of pay for certain positions within the Naval Establishments in the states of Victoria and New South Wales. This regulation introduces new salary scales for 'senior sisters' and'sisters (industrial)' in these states, as well as a new scale for 'Assistant Engineers'. The regulation also modifies existing salary scales for various assistant positions within plan printing and printing departments. These amendments apply to individuals occupying the specified positions within the Naval Establishments in Victoria and New South Wales. The regulation extends its reach across the relevant states and is specific to the listed positions, with no broader jurisdictional implications beyond the stated amendments. There are no stated exclusions or exemptions within the regulation itself, but it should be noted that the regulation operates within the framework of the overarching Naval Defence Act 1910-1966. The regulation may be further extended or restricted through subordinate instruments, although this specific legislative instrument does not provide explicit detail on such extensions or restrictions.

Key Provisions

The primary sections of these Regulations, under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1966, introduce and amend the rates of pay for certain positions within the Naval Establishments in Victoria and New South Wales (regulation 43a). The Third Schedule to the Naval Establishments Regulations is amended to reflect these changes and include new positions such as the Assistant Engineer, and updated scales of rates for positions like Assistant (Plan Printing) and Assistant (Printing) (regulation 2). The Regulations also provide for transitional arrangements for employees who occupied certain positions during specified periods, ensuring they receive appropriate salary adjustments (regulation 3). These changes are designed to ensure that remuneration aligns with the roles and responsibilities of the positions within the Naval Establishments. The Regulations impose obligations on the relevant authorities to ensure that the new pay scales are implemented accurately and that any transitional payments are made to eligible employees. These authorities must verify the positions held by employees during the specified transitional periods and calculate the necessary salary adjustments. The Regulations require meticulous record-keeping and timely payments to affected employees to ensure compliance with the new pay scales. Breach of these Regulations, such as failure to implement the new pay scales or to provide the required transitional payments, may result in legal consequences. While the specific penalties are not detailed within the provided text, breaches of regulations under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1966 could potentially lead to enforcement actions by the relevant authorities. Such actions may include fines or other administrative penalties as prescribed by the Act or other applicable laws. The precise penalties would depend on the nature and severity of the breach, as well as any additional provisions outlined in the overarching legislation.
