SECTION IV.—PAY AND ALLOWANCES OF THE N.Z. TERRITORIAL FORCE
AND RESERVE—ALL RANKS.

General.

  1. Pay and allowances at the rates laid down will be drawn by officers,
    W.O.s, N.C.O.s, and men of the Territorial Force, and officers on the Reserve,
    only for the days of actual attendance at annual training in camp (including
    days of leave authorized with pay, and days of arrival and departure), at con-
    tinuous obligatory courses of instruction, and, if approved by the G.O.C., or,
    in his absence, by the C.G.S., at Staff rides, instructional tours, continuous volun-
    tary courses of instruction, when specially called up for duty, or when serving
    on Courts-martial or Courts of inquiry. They shall in no case be drawn during
    attendance at the obligatory drills, musketry, &c., performed outside the period
    of annual training in camp, nor for attendance at rifle meetings, guards of honour,
    or for any extra days’ attendance at the annual camp authorized in lieu of
    performance of obligatory drills, &c.

  2. A seconded officer, who is ordered to attend an annual camp of the
    Territorial Force under the Regulations for the N.Z. Military Forces, shall receive
    the pay and allowances of his rank, or, should the rank of the officer whose place
    he fills be lower than his own, the pay and allowances of that lower rank.

  3. Officers attending as supernumerary officers under the Regulations for
    the N.Z. Military Forces shall be allowed pay and allowances while attending camp.

  4. A W.O., N.C.O., or man of the Territorial Force appointed to perform
    the duties of a higher rank or appointment during a vacancy at the annual camp
    shall be granted the minimum rate of pay attached to the rank or appointment,
    provided the proportionate establishment of such higher ranks in the unit is not
    exceeded.

Civil Servants.

  1. A Civil servant attending the annual training camp, or performing
    any other military duty for which pay as hereinbefore provided is authorized,
    may receive his departmental or Territorial military pay, whichever is the
    greater, but shall not receive both.

Territorial military pay is issued to Civil servants only when granted leave
without pay or annual leave, and in order that such pay may be issued at the
camp or place at the time of the performance of such duty the undernoted
conditions must be complied with :-

(a.) Leave without Pay.—A trainee must produce in camp a certificate from
the Head of his Department that he is on leave without pay.

(b.) Annual Leave.—A trainee must obtain through his Department the
approval of the Public Service Commissioner for the issue of Terri-
torial military pay whilst on annual leave, and a certificate to this
effect from the Head of his Department must be produced in camp.

(c.) N.Z. Railways, P. and T. Department, and Education Boards.—In the
case of trainees from these Departments the permission of the Public
Service Commissioner is unnecessary, but the certificate to be pro-
duced in camp must be signed by the proper departmental authority.

Preparation of Acquittance Rolls and Issue of Cash.

  1. (a.) The Command Paymaster is responsible on all necessary occasions
    for the presence of a member of the Army Pay Corps at an annual training-camp,
    or at a course of instruction, for the purpose of supervising the issue of pay, checking
    of acquittance rolls and claims submitted for payment.

(b.) Acquittance rolls and all claims for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
trainees must be prepared in duplicate and submitted to Camp Commandant,
who shall advise the Command Paymaster that such rolls, &c., are ready at
least three days before the time set apart for payment.

(c.) The Command Paymaster or any member of the Army Pay Corps must
not, in accordance with Treasury Regulations, compile the pay rolls or claims
submitted by trainees.

(d.) Cash in suitable denominations will be issued to Company, Battery,
Squadron, or Unit Commanders by the Command Paymaster or his representa-
tive, who must obtain a receipt for such issues, and retain the duplicates of all
acquittance rolls and claims covered by such issues of cash.

(e.) Company, Battery, Squadron, or Unit Commanders are responsible for
the correct issues of cash to all trainees, and must see that the acquittance rolls
claims, &c., are duly receipted in ink or ink-pencil, and that all surplus cash,
together with acquittance rolls, claims, &c., duly certified where necessary, are
returned to Camp Headquarters within twenty-four hours of any issue of cash.

(f.) In all cases where for any reason arrangements cannot satisfactorily be
made for the cash to be issued by the Paymaster or his representative to Com-
pany Commanders, &c., the Camp Commandant shall accept same from the
Paymaster, giving the necessary receipt as provided above, and shall be respon-
sible in the same manner as if the cash had been issued to Unit Commanders.
