Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004

This Division tells you how to work out the normal earnings for a person who left the Defence Force as a continuous full‑time Reservist.

The person has a one‑off choice between 2 ways of working out normal earnings. Normal earnings can be based on the amount the person would have earned if the person were still a continuous full‑time Reservist. (This amount is called the ADF earnings.) Alternatively, normal earnings can be based on the person’s earnings from other work engaged in before beginning his or her last period of continuous full‑time service. (This amount is called the pre‑CFTS earnings.)

Normal earnings worked out under this Division might be adjusted under Part 5.

Subdivision E tells you how to work out the normal weekly hours for a person who chooses the pre‑CFTS earnings. (Normal weekly hours for a person who chooses the ADF earnings are 37.5 hours (see subsection 132(2).)
