34 Calculation of daily fees for part‑day work

(1) This section applies to a Part 4 office holder who works for less than a full day.

Note: This section does not apply to a member of the ART to whom section 38 applies.

(2) On a formal meeting or hearing day, the following amounts of the office holder’s daily fee are payable to the office holder: (a) for a period of less than 2 hours—40% of the daily fee; (b) for a period of between 2 and 3 hours—60% of the daily fee; (c) for a period of 3 hours or more—100% of the daily fee. (3) On any other day, for each period of at least 1 hour spent entirely on authority business, the amount of the office holder’s daily fee payable to the office holder is 20% of that daily fee for each hour, up to a maximum of 5 hours on any one day. (4) The periods of work mentioned in subsection (2) do not include any normal preparation time for a formal meeting or hearing. There is no additional payment for time spent on normal preparation. However, if extraordinary preparation time is required by the officer for the formal meeting or hearing, the authority may authorise an additional payment in accordance with subsection (3). (5) If the office holder is required to work at a location other than the office locality, any reasonable time required to travel between an office holder’s home or usual place of work and the other location may be included by the authority in calculating payments under this section. Travel time between the office holder’s home and usual place of work is not included for the purpose of calculation of payments.
