sec.20 Education and conference allowance

The purpose of this section is to make provision for an education and conference allowance payable for each financial year to particular judicial officers. Each of the following judicial officers is entitled to the payment of an education and conference allowance— a deputy president of the Industrial Court or Commission; an industrial commissioner. The amount of the education and conference allowance payable for a financial year to each judicial officer increases each financial year at the same rate as the salary for the judicial officer increases for that year. If the increase of the education and conference allowance for a financial year is worked out after the start of that year, it must be backdated to the start. The education and conference allowance for a financial year may be paid to a judicial officer to reimburse his or her vouched or estimated expenses incurred during the financial year for the cost of self-education. An amount of education and conference allowance for a financial year that is not paid to a judicial officer under subsection (5) may be paid to the judicial officer to reimburse his or her vouched or estimated expenses incurred in a later financial year for the cost of self-education. The education and conference allowance is not payable at any time as salary or a lump sum, including as a lump sum on retirement or resignation. An estimated expense must be acquitted. s 20 amd 2013 No. 29 s 59ZG (sec.20-ssec.1) The purpose of this section is to make provision for an education and conference allowance payable for each financial year to particular judicial officers.
