“64. (1) Every administrative officer who in the course of his duty within New Zealand is required to be absent from his headquarters on relief or other duty for a continuous period of twenty-four hours or longer, or a period involving his leaving and returning on successive days, shall, subject to the succeeding provisions of this regulation, be paid an allowance in respect of the time during which he is so absent after the following rates :—

Per Day
s. d.
“(a) An administrative officer whose salary does not exceed £999 per annum . . . . . . . . . . 30 0
“(b) An administrative officer whose salary exceeds £999 per annum but does not exceed £1,499 per annum 35 0

“Provided that the foregoing rates shall be increased by 2s. in respect of each occasion on which the administrative officer secures sleeping-accommodation in an hotel for one night only.

“(2) For the purposes of this regulation a day means a period of twenty-four hours and every period of absence shall be computed from and to the times of departure from and return to the administrative officer’s headquarters. For any part of a day the amount payable shall be one twenty-fourth of the specified daily rate for each hour of absence from headquarters. In computing the period of such absence a fraction of an hour, if half an hour or more, shall be reckoned as one hour ; but if less than half an hour shall not be taken into account.

“(3) When in the course of his duty an administrative officer is required to be absent from his headquarters for a continuous period of less than twenty-four hours, leaving and returning on the same day, there shall be paid to him his actual reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, but so that the payment is not greater than he would be entitled to for an absence of twenty-four hours.

4. The annual salary which must be attached to a position held by a person in the Department so as to constitute that person an “administrative officer” as that term is defined in section 2 of the Government Railways Act, 1949, shall be a salary in excess of £860 in lieu of a salary in excess of £825 originally provided for in the said section.
