Part 5Annual meeting fees and additional daily fees

 

23  Simplified outline of this Part

This Part applies to office holders who receive an annual meeting fee and additional daily fee. The annual meeting fee compensates for formal meetings of the authority with the additional daily fee payable for authority business unrelated to the formal meetings.

This Part sets out the conditions that must be met for payment of both the annual meeting fee and the additional daily fee, including certification of hours and minimum claim and maximum payment arrangements. Table 5A identifies the following:

 the individual public offices remunerated by annual meeting and additional daily fees;

 the fees payable to Chairs and Members (where applicable);

 any additional provisions or conditions that apply to the office, including any caps that apply to the additional daily fee;

 the travel tier for the office.

24  Application of this Part

  This Part applies to office holders whose annual meeting fees and additional daily fees are set out in Table 5A.

25  Payment of annual meeting fees

 (1) The annual meeting fees set out in Table 5A are payable on a periodic basis throughout each year. Part years are paid on a proportionate basis. The annual meeting fee covers the following:

 (a) attendance at all formal meetings of the authority (regardless of their duration);

 (b) any preparation time for the formal meetings;

 (c) any official travel time associated with the formal meetings.

Reduction for lengthy absence

 (2) The annual meeting fee is proportionally reduced where an office holder is unavailable to attend meetings of the authority for a period of more than 3 months, except to the extent that a reduction would be inconsistent with the terms of the office holder’s appointment.

26  Payment of additional daily fees

 (1) The additional daily fees set out in Table 5A are payable for time spent on authority business in accordance with this Part and as calculated under section 28.

Certification of time

 (2) For an office holder other than the Chair, additional daily fees may only be paid after the Chair certifies the total time claimed by the office holder, including any official travel time that is not associated with a formal meeting.

 (3) For the Chair, additional daily fees may only be paid after the total time claimed by the Chair is certified in accordance with the terms set out in the Chair’s appointment or under governance arrangements approved by the responsible portfolio minister or employing authority.

Maximum payment

 (4) The maximum payable for any one day is one additional daily fee.

Minimum claim

 (5) Unless the employing authority determines otherwise, the minimum amount that may be claimed for payment at any one time is one additional daily fee.

Annual cap

 (6) If Table 5A sets out a cap on additional daily fees for an office holder, additional daily fees are not payable to the office holder once their aggregate additional daily fee earnings during that financial year reach the cap.

27  Authority business—exclusion

  For the purposes of this Part, time spent on the following is not to be treated as time spent on authority business:

 (a) all preparation for a formal meeting, even where it is considered excessive to normal preparation time;

 (b) any official travel time associated with a formal meeting regardless of when the travel occurs.

28  Calculation of additional daily fees

 (1) The amount of an additional daily fee paid to an office holder for a day is 20% of the additional daily fee set out in Table 5A for each hour, to a maximum of 5 hours per day, that the office holder spends:

 (a) on authority business; or

 (b) on official travel time that is not associated with a formal meeting.

 (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), disregard any period of time of less than one hour that the office holder spends as mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) or (b).

29  Annual meeting fees and additional daily fees

  The following table (Table 5A) sets out, for each office holder in column 1:

 (a) the annual meeting fee for the office holder; and

 (b) the additional daily fee for the office holder; and

 (c) the annual cap on additional daily fees for the office holder (if applicable); and

 (d) the special provisions (if any) of this instrument that apply to the office holder; and

 (e) the travel tier that applies to the office holder for the purposes of the official travel determination.
