The Remuneration Authority can ask for information from certain people to help make a decision. You might be asked for information if you are the Clerk, the chief executive, or the chief executive responsible for Ministerial Services. The Authority can also ask a party, a member, or someone else for information. The Remuneration Authority can get advice from someone with useful experience or background. This advice can come from a professional adviser. The Authority can use this advice to help make its decision, as seen in similar legislation such as the s 19 of 2013.
