3 Basic salary of Assembly members to be tied to annual rate of increases in pay of NTPS employees

(1) An Assembly member is entitled to be paid a basic salary worked out under this section.

(2) On and after 1 October 2009 until the date an entitlement takes effect under subsection (3), the basic salary is the amount worked out by increasing the pre-existing salary by 2.5%.

(3) On and after the date an increase in the pay of NTPS employees takes effect under a prescribed agreement in 2010 until the date the first increase takes effect under subsection (4), the basic salary is:

(a) the amount worked out by increasing the pre-existing salary by the annual rate for 2010; or

(b) if the amount worked out under paragraph (a) is more than the reduced MHR salary at the time the amount is worked out – the amount worked out by decreasing the amount worked out under paragraph (a) to the reduced MHR salary at that time.

Note for paragraph (a)

If the 2010 annual rate is 2.5%, the amount of the basic salary worked out under paragraph (a) would be the same amount worked out under subsection (2).

(4) On and after the date an increase in the pay of NTPS employees takes effect under a prescribed agreement in an agreement year until the date an increase in the pay of NTPS employees takes effect under a prescribed agreement in the immediately following agreement year, the basic salary is:

(a) the amount worked out by increasing the existing basic salary by the annual rate for the agreement year; or

(b) if the amount worked out under paragraph (a) is more than the reduced MHR salary at the time the amount is worked out – the amount worked out by decreasing the amount worked out under paragraph (a) to the reduced MHR salary.

(5) In this section:

agreement year means 2011 or a year that is after 2011.

annual rate means the rate of increase that takes effect in relation to the pay of NTPS employees during a year, as stated in a prescribed agreement.

basic salary means the salary of an Assembly member, but does not include any additional salary for the member, including, for example, additional salary as a Minister.

existing basic salary, for working out an entitlement under this section, means the basic salary to which an Assembly member is entitled under this section immediately before the date the increase, that is being worked out, is to take effect.
