Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

These regulations fix the cash value of "skills and experience retention leave" for officers under the Parliament (Joint Services) Act 1985 at $180 per working day (indexed) and set how that leave can be converted to a cash payment. They prescribe the CPI‑based annual indexation method, a deadline for making a conversion election (31 August after the financial year), rounding rules, and give the Committee authority to determine timing, payment method and pro rata calculations. They affect payroll, recordkeeping and decision‑making for affected officers and the Committee.

(2) The amount of $180 (indexed) referred to in subsection (1)(a) is to be adjusted on an annual basis (commencing in relation to days accrued in the 2013/2014 financial year) by multiplying that amount by a proportion obtained by dividing the Consumer Price Index for the March quarter in the immediately preceding financial year by the Consumer Price Index for the March quarter, 2012 (with an adjustment applying according to when a leave entitlement accrues rather than when a payment is made). (2a) An amount determined under subregulation (2) is to be rounded up or down to the nearest $1 (and if the amount to be rounded is 50 cents, then the amount is to be rounded up). (3) In this regulation— Consumer Price Index means the Consumer Price Index (All groups index for Adelaide) published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
