Overview
The Statutory Rules 1965, No. 75, titled "Regulations Under the Public Service Act 1922-1964," were enacted to provide amendments to the existing Public Service Regulations, specifically addressing the remuneration of education officers and the addition of a new position, Assistant Actuary. This legislative instrument was approved by the Public Service Board and subsequently ratified by the Administrator of the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia, with the advice of the Federal Executive Council. The primary objective of these regulations is to update the salary scales for various classes of education officers and to establish a salary scale for the newly introduced position of Assistant Actuary. These amendments were designed to ensure that the compensation for public service roles remains competitive and reflective of the responsibilities and qualifications required for these positions.
Scope and Application
The Public Service Regulations, enacted under the Public Service Act 1922-1964, pertain specifically to the classification and remuneration of certain positions within the public service of the Commonwealth of Australia. These regulations apply to individuals employed in specified roles, such as Education Officers and Assistant Actuaries, outlining their salary scales and classification levels. The Regulations are applicable nationwide, extending to all federal public service employees within the Commonwealth jurisdiction. While the Regulations themselves primarily focus on the remuneration and classification of the mentioned positions, they are subject to amendments and further detailed rules that may be established through subordinate instruments. These subordinate instruments can refine the application of the primary regulations, ensuring they are comprehensive and up-to-date with any necessary adjustments.
Key Provisions
The Regulations under the Public Service Act 1922-1964, as amended, establish specific provisions for various roles within the public service, particularly focusing on salary scales for education officers and introducing a new role, the Assistant Actuary. Section 71 sets out the salary scale for Education Officers of Class 1, ranging from £1,535 to £2,255, while Section 72 covers Education Officers of Class 2, ranging from £2,345 to £2,615. Section 73 details the salary scale for Education Officers of Class 3, which extends from £2,725 to £3,055. Section 74 outlines the remuneration for Education Officers of Class 4, from £3,175 to £3,415, and Section 74a specifies the salary range for Chief Education Officers, from £3,545 to £3,805. Additionally, Section 218a introduces the role of Assistant Actuary with a salary scale from £3,350 to £3,500.
These regulations impose specific obligations on the Public Service Board to ensure that the salary scales outlined are adhered to for the respective roles. The Board is responsible for the accurate classification and remuneration of education officers and the Assistant Actuary, ensuring that they receive the appropriate pay according to their designated class. It is the duty of the Board to implement these salary scales uniformly across the public service entities they govern.
Failure to comply with the stipulated salary scales can result in legal repercussions. Although the specific penalties are not detailed within the text, breaches of these regulations may lead to disciplinary actions against the responsible parties. Such actions could include formal warnings, fines, or even termination of employment, depending on the severity and frequency of the breach. Additionally, individuals found in violation of these salary provisions may face legal action, which could result in both civil and criminal penalties as prescribed by other relevant legislation.
