S.L. 327.437 Art. 22Officers and staff. Kap. 93. Kap. 58.

Articles 113 to 115 of the Act shall apply to the Academy in relation to staff appointments:

Provided that, for the purpose of this Order:

(a) any reference to the Prime Minister in article 114 of the Act shall be construed as reference to the Principal Permanent Secretary, following the direction of the Prime Minister;

(b) in assessing the pensionable emoluments of any officer detailed for duty with the Academy as provided in article 114 of the Act, for the purposes of any pension entitlement under the Pensions Ordinance and the Widows’ and Orphans’ Pensions Act, no account shall be taken of any allowances, bonuses or gratuities paid to such officer by the Academy in excess of what he is entitled to as a public officer; and

(c) during the time in respect of which any officer is detailed to perform duties with the Academy as provided in paragraph (b), his terms and conditions of service shall not be less favourable than those which are attached to his appointment with the Government during the period aforesaid. Such terms and conditions shall not be deemed to be less favourable because they are not in all respects identical or superior to those enjoyed by the officer concerned at the date of such detailing, if in the opinion of the Prime Minister such terms and conditions, taken as a whole, offer substantially equivalent or greater benefits.
