PART 1

GENERAL

PART 1 - GENERAL

Legislative basis: The Remuneration Tribunal has made this Determination in accordance with subsections 7(3) and 7(4) of the Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973.
Effective date: This Determination takes effect on and from 1 July 2014 unless otherwise specified.
Effect on earlier Determinations: This Determination supersedes and revokes in full Determination 2014/03: (as amended) Remuneration and Allowances for Holders of Part- Time Public Office.
Structure: This Determination is structured so that each schedule contains the provisions for a specific remuneration model as follows:

Schedule A applies to office holders remunerated by annual fees.
Schedule B applies to office holders remunerated by daily fees.
Schedule C contains provisions for office holders who are remunerated under an annual meeting fee and additional daily fee model.
Schedule D provisions are for office holders who are remunerated under the base (annual) fee and daily meeting fee model.
Schedule E provisions are for offices of the Aboriginal Land Councils.

Definitions: In this Determination, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

'authority' is the body or office to which office holders, as defined in this clause, are appointed; 'authority business' means any authority business conducted by an office holder with the authority's approval, excluding attendance at a formal meeting, official travel time on a meeting day and normal preparation time for that meeting (Note: Time spent by the office holder preparing for a formal meeting that the Chair considers is excessive to normal preparation time may be treated as 'authority business'); ‘normal preparation time’ means the time that a member of an authority ordinarily requires to prepare for a meeting of the authority. It can occur on either a day of a meeting or on another day. 'office holder' means the holder of a part-time public office; 'official travel time' is the reasonable period, certified by a Chair, that an office holder spends travelling on official business away from the metropolitan area of the capital city or the environs of the town in which the office holder lives. It does not include time spent travelling between an office holder's home and principal place of work. The Chair may consider agency travel guidelines (if any) when determining the reasonable period. 'public office' has the same meaning as in the Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973.

PART 2

The Schedule sets out the conditions that must be met for payment of fees, including certification of hours and minimum claim and maximum payment arrangements.

The Chair’s total time should be certified in accordance with the terms set out in the office holder's appointment or under governance arrangements approved by the responsible portfolio minister or authority.
1. Maximum payment: The maximum payable for any one day is one daily fee.
2. Minimum claim: Unless the authority determines otherwise, the minimum amount that may be claimed on each occasion is one daily fee.

PART 1 GENERAL

PART 1 - GENERAL

Legislative basis: The Remuneration Tribunal has made this Determination in accordance with subsections 7(3) and 7(4) of the Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973.
Effective date: This Determination takes effect on and from 1 July 2014 unless otherwise specified.
Effect on earlier Determinations: This Determination supersedes and revokes in full Determination 2014/03: (as amended) Remuneration and Allowances for Holders of Part- Time Public Office.
Structure: This Determination is structured so that each schedule contains the provisions for a specific remuneration model as follows:

Schedule A applies to office holders remunerated by annual fees.
Schedule B applies to office holders remunerated by daily fees.
Schedule C contains provisions for office holders who are remunerated under an annual meeting fee and additional daily fee model.
Schedule D provisions are for office holders who are remunerated under the base (annual) fee and daily meeting fee model.
Schedule E provisions are for offices of the Aboriginal Land Councils.

Definitions: In this Determination, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

'authority' is the body or office to which office holders, as defined in this clause, are appointed; 'authority business' means any authority business conducted by an office holder with the authority's approval, excluding attendance at a formal meeting, official travel time on a meeting day and normal preparation time for that meeting (Note: Time spent by the office holder preparing for a formal meeting that the Chair considers is excessive to normal preparation time may be treated as 'authority business'); ‘normal preparation time’ means the time that a member of an authority ordinarily requires to prepare for a meeting of the authority. It can occur on either a day of a meeting or on another day. 'office holder' means the holder of a part-time public office; 'official travel time' is the reasonable period, certified by a Chair, that an office holder spends travelling on official business away from the metropolitan area of the capital city or the environs of the town in which the office holder lives. It does not include time spent travelling between an office holder's home and principal place of work. The Chair may consider agency travel guidelines (if any) when determining the reasonable period. 'public office' has the same meaning as in the Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973.
