Remuneration Authority Act 1977

14: Implementation of determinations

You could also call this:

"What happens when the Remuneration Authority makes a decision about pay rates"

Illustration for Remuneration Authority Act 1977

When the Remuneration Authority makes a decision, it takes effect as stated, and no one else needs to approve the salary or allowance rates they decide. You must follow the decisions made by the Authority, and it is against the law to do something that goes against one of their decisions or to ignore the rules they set. The Authority's decisions are in place to ensure that everything is fair and follows the rules, and you can find more information about changes to the law on the Remuneration Authority (Members of Parliament) Amendment Act 2002 page.
