Transport Administration Act 1988

The remuneration package of a Transport Service senior executive must be within the range determined under the Statutory and Other Offices Remuneration Act 1975 for the band in which the executive is employed (except as provided by subsection (2)).

The Transport Secretary may, in accordance with parameters agreed on by the Transport Secretary and the Public Service Commissioner, determine a remuneration package for a Transport Service senior executive or class of Transport Service senior executives that is within a range higher than the range determined under the Statutory and Other Offices Remuneration Act 1975 for the band in which the executive or class of executives is employed.

The kinds and value of employment benefits and the allowances for a Transport Service senior executive are to be determined by the Transport Secretary. In making any such determination, the Transport Secretary is to have regard to any similar determinations that apply to Public Service senior executives.

A Transport Service senior executive is only entitled to the remuneration, employment benefits or allowances provided in the executive’s contract of employment.

For the purposes of this section, employment benefits for a Transport Service senior executive are—

contributions by the executive’s employer to a superannuation scheme or fund of the executive, and

other benefits provided to the executive at the cost of the executive’s employer that are of a private nature.
