187 Commission must determine category of defence work when defence work abolished
(1) This section applies for the purposes of sections 104, 109, 114, 141, 144, 149, 154, 161, 164, 168 and 173 if the category of defence work that is used to determine a person’s normal earnings ceases to exist.
Note: For example, the category of defence work that is used to determine the normal earnings of a person to whom section 104 applies is the category of defence work that the person was engaged in immediately before completing his or her last period of full‑time service.
(2) The Commission must determine which of the current categories of defence work should be used to determine a person’s normal earnings instead.
(3) The amount of pay that the person would have earned for a period is the amount that the person would have earned for the period if the person performed the category of defence work determined under subsection (2).
Note: The amount of pay mentioned in subsection (3) might include increases mentioned in section 185.
