In disciplining a relevant commission officer, the chief executive officer may take the action, or order the action be taken, (disciplinary action) that the chief executive officer considers reasonable in the circumstances.
Examples of disciplinary action—

A monetary penalty can not be more than the total of 2 of the relevant commission officer’s periodic remuneration payments.
Also, an amount directed to be deducted from any particular periodic remuneration payment of the relevant commission officer—
must not be more than half of the amount payable to or for the officer in relation to the payment; and
must not reduce the amount of salary payable to the officer in relation to the period to less than—

otherwise—two-thirds of the guaranteed minimum wage for each week of the period.
An order under subsection (1) is binding on anyone affected by it.
