If an officer stops performing the higher-paid work and then has to do it again for less than a month within the next year, they do **not** get the allowance for that short second stint.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nOfficers employed under the Dairy Produce Export Control Act—public servants managing the export of Australian dairy products."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-export-control-staff-regulations-amendment","history":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-export-control-staff-regulations-amendment/history","analysis":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-export-control-staff-regulations-amendment/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-export-control-staff-regulations-amendment/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-export-control-staff-regulations-amendment/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-export-control-staff-regulations-amendment/documents"}}
