"Pay and travel costs for Sports Tribunal members"

Illustration for Sports Tribunal Act 2006

If you are a member of the Sports Tribunal of New Zealand, you get paid for your work. The amount you get paid is decided by the Remuneration Authority, following the rules of the Remuneration Authority Act 1977. You also get money to help with travel costs when you are working for the Tribunal.

When you travel for work, you can get travelling allowances and expenses paid from public money. This is done according to the rules of the Fees and Travelling Allowances Act 1951. The Sports Tribunal is treated like a statutory board when it comes to these travel costs.

Your pay and travel costs are kept separate, so you do not get paid twice for the same thing. The Remuneration Authority makes sure your pay does not include money that you already get for travel costs.
