EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1986 NO. 258
REMUNERATION TRIBUNALS (MEMBERS’ FEES AND ALLOWANCES) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
Section 12 of the Remuneration Tribunals Act 1973 provides that a member of the Remuneration Tribunal shall be paid such fees and allowances as are prescribed. Section 12F makes a similar provision in respect of the person appointed as the Academic Salaries Tribunal.
These regulations amend the Remuneration Tribunals (Members’ Fees and Allowances) Regulations to increase the fees payable to members of the Remuneration Tribunal in line with the 2.3% increase handed down in the National Wage Case decision of 26 June 1986.
In addition they set the remuneration payable to the person appointed as the Academic Salaries Tribunal, and repeal several outdated principal regulations.
