Validation of certain deductions
111 Validation of certain deductions
A deduction made before the commencement of section 7A (2) from remuneration earned by an inmate as a participant in an external work release program is taken to have been validly made at the time it was made if it would have been validly made on or after that commencement.
Accordingly, no compensation is payable in respect of such a deducted amount or in respect of interest that may have accrued on such a deducted amount had it not been deducted.
In subclause (1)—
external work release program has the same meaning as in section 7A, but extends to a corresponding program under the former Correctional Centres Act 1952 (a corresponding program).
For the purposes of applying subclause (1) to a deduction from remuneration earned by an inmate as a participant in a corresponding program, a reference in section 7A (2) to an external work release program and to remuneration earned by an inmate from participation in such a program is taken to be a reference to a corresponding program and to remuneration earned by an inmate as a participant in such a program.
