1. |
The overseas conditions of service in Chapters 12 to 16 are supplementary to other conditions of service that members are entitled to under other Chapters. They do not seek to reproduce the entire package of pay, leave and other conditions for members overseas. Example: The overseas conditions do not deal with basic recreation leave. Instead, they provide additional leave for members at hardship posts overseas. |
|
2. |
This information on overseas conditions of service is published in the ADF Pay and Conditions Manual, referred to as 'the Manual'. (This subclause is policy guidance) |
|
3. |
Users must refer to the information contained in the PACMATE and other required reading material in Chapter 1 at the beginning of the Manual. This is for guidance on such matters as how to apply discretionary powers, and the responsibility of members to report changes in their circumstances where they affect entitlements. (This subclause is policy guidance) |
|
4. |
For the APS, this volume contains the conditions determined under section H10 of the Defence Enterprise Collective Agreement 2009 as the ADO Guide to Overseas Conditions of Service. APS users must also refer to the Defence Enterprise Collective Agreement 2009 (DECA) or their Australian Workplace Agreement, and the Defence Workplace Relations Manual. (This subclause is policy guidance) |
|
|
Overseas conditions of service are intended to be identical for ADF members and APS employees in the same circumstances. Note: There may be situations in which entitlements differ because of particular features of service or functions undertaken. |
