General Conditions of Service.
Salaries are quoted indifferently in £s. or $s. at the
rate of $10 to the £1. They are paid in £s. when a member of the staff is out of the Colony (except in the case of temporary absence in the Far East). When a member of the staff is in the Colony he is paid in $s, save when the value of the $ falls at the end of any month below 2/-, in which case the equivalent of the salary in £s. is paid in $s. at
the current rate of exchange.
Full first-class passages (up to a maximum equal to the P. and 0. fare) are paid for a member of the staff, his wife and his children under sixteen, when travelling to take up an appointment and on final retirement in due course, save where it is expressly stated that second class passages only will be paid. Provided that in the case of Junior Lectureships, applications for which are restricted to bachelors, no passages for a wife or children will in any case be paid either for the voyage out or, in the event of retirement at the end of the first contract-period for the voyage home. Half sterling salary is paid during the journey out and full sterling salary is paid on the home- ward voyage (the duration of which is taken at six weeks) when a member of the staff retires on the satisfactory
completion in due course of a contract of service for a
term of years.
