EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO 400
PUBLIC SERVICE REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
Issued with the authority of the Public Service Board
Sub-section 97(1) of the Public Service Act 1922 (‘the Act’) provides that the Public Service Board may, with the approval of the Governor-General, make regulations prescribing all matters which are required or permitted to be prescribed, for carrying out or giving effect to the Act.
The statutory rules repeal regulations 109B and 114 of the Public Service Regulations. Regulation 109B provided for the commencing salaries of officers on promotions or transfers, and Regulation 114 provided for conditions under which increments of salaries may be granted to officers whose attendance for duty during the year has been for a lesser period than eleven months. These matters are now provided under Public Service Board Determination 1984/19, made under section 82D of the Act. Accordingly, Regulations 109B and 114 had become superfluous.
