(1) The Commissioner shall, from time to time as circumstances require, determine, as the salary of a continuing contributor for the purposes of these Regulations, an amount ascertained by adding to the basic former salary of that continuing contributor an amount, or the sum of the amounts, by which a comparable salary payable to an officer of the Australian Public Service has been increased since the relevant date, and the Commissioner shall specify in the determination the date on which the last increase in a comparable salary payable to such an officer taken into account in making the determination took effect. (2) Where the Commissioner has made a determination under this regulation in relation to a continuing contributor, for the purposes of these Regulations the salary of that continuing contributor shall, during the period from and including the date specified in that determination in pursuance of subregulation (1) to and including the date immediately preceding the date on which: (a) he ceases to be a continuing contributor; or (b) another determination under this regulation is made in relation to him; as the case may be, be deemed to be the amount so determined. (3) In determining, in relation to a continuing contributor, the amount referred to in subregulation (1), the Commissioner shall disregard any increase in the salary of that continuing contributor since the relevant date attributable to promotions received by him in the course of his service in pursuance of a contract of employment entered into by him with the Government of Papua New Guinea.
