Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations(1) If:
(a) a person has ceased to be an eligible employee:
(i) by reason of early retirement; or
(ii) in circumstances that entitle him or her to an age retirement pension; and

(i) he or she performed duties or work in respect of which Senior Officers' allowance is payable to him or her; and
(ii) that allowance was taken to be payable to him or her, or payable to him or her at a particular rate, on a regular basis only because the Commissioner had given a certificate under subregulation 6(2);
then, for the purposes of the definition of final annual rate of salary in subsection 3(1) of the Act, his or her annual rate of salary on the relevant day is taken to be an amount equal to the amount per annum that would, for the purposes of the Act, have been his or her annual rate of salary on that day if that certificate had not been given.
