WHEREAS by section 34 of the Public Service Act, 1912 (hereinafter called “the said Act”), the Commissioner, with the approval of the Governor in Council, is authorized to make regulations for the carrying-out of the provisions of the said Act:

Now, therefore, the Commissioner, in pursuance and exercise of the said authority, and with the approval of the Governor in Council, doth hereby make the following amendments and additions to the Regulations made under the said Act on the 31st day of March, 1913, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the 1st day of April, 1913, and doth hereby order that the Regulations hereby made shall be read as part of the said principal Regulations, and shall, except where specially mentioned, come into force on the day of the gazetting hereof.

ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS.

8A. EVERY officer shall perform public duty beyond the usual hours when required; but in special cases the Commissioner may, on the application of the Permanent Head, authorize special payment for such extra service. This regulation shall be deemed to have been in force on and from the 1st day of April, 1913.

53A. The Permanent Head may at any time grant an officer leave of absence without pay for any period not exceeding one month if in his opinion there are special circumstances justifying such a course. The grant of such leave shall be reported to the Commissioner. Where more than one month’s leave is desired, application shall be made through the Permanent Head to the Commissioner.

Regulation No. 110 of the principal Regulations is revoked, and the following regulation substituted in lieu thereof:-

110. The allowance shall be for each day of twenty-four hours. For any portion of a day the rate shall be one twenty-fourth of the full daily rate for each hour’s absence : Provided that, when the absence does not exceed six hours, actual and reasonable expenses only shall be paid. In all cases the day shall be deemed to commence immediately after midnight.

130A. In the case of a new appointment the Commissioner may allow such sum as in his opinion is reasonable to cover the cost of conveyance of the officer to his destination.

204A. An officer who is on the staff as a shorthand-writer and typist, and who has passed a satisfactory examination in the use of mechanical appliances for adding, calculating, tabulating, and listing, shall, if and so long as he is employed upon such machine-work, be granted a special increment of £10 per annum. A certificate from the Permanent Head that the officer has been so employed, and that there is sufficient machine-work to justify his being so employed, shall be required in each case.

As witness my hand this 14th day of June, 1913.
