Reduction of salary for absence from duty
25 Reduction of salary for absence from duty
If—
a prescribed employee has, without proper cause, absented themselves from their place of work during ordinary hours of duty (or other hours during which the employee is lawfully directed to work); or
has not discharged their duties as a result of or in the furtherance of industrial action taken by the employee, the Chief Executive may direct that the employee's remuneration be reduced by one seventieth (or in the case of a prescribed employee at the classification level of Lecturer's Assistant, one seventy‑fifth) of the employee's fortnightly salary for each hour (or part of an hour) for which the employee was so absent or so failed to discharge their duties.
For the purposes of this regulation, the fortnightly salary of a prescribed employee who is employed on a part‑time basis is the fortnightly salary that the employee would be entitled to receive if they were employed on a full‑time basis.
