Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument fixes pay and travel allowances for the chair of a Board of Reference — the early industrial panels that settled employer–worker disputes. It pays two guineas per sitting, 15 shillings daily for expenses plus actual transport fares, requires the Industrial Registrar’s certification before payment, and allows Commonwealth public servants to claim only with their Minister’s approval. It ensures fair compensation with oversight to prevent improper claims.
