APPENDIX.

COST OF LIVING BONUS APPLICABLE TO ORDINARY REMUNERATION (ON A PRE-WAR BASIS) OF CIVIL SERVANTS.

(Note.-Remuneration not carrying bonus is shown in Estimates as inclusive.)

The Civil Service Cost of Living bonus is subject to revision on 1st March and 1st September of each year and is based on the average of the official increased cost of living figures for the six months preceding the date of revision. Accordingly at the time Estimates are presented it is not possible to forecast the precise rate of bonus which will be payable in the latter half of the year.

On ordinary remuneration up to 35s. a week (917. 58. a year) bonus represents a percentage increase equivalent to the average percentage increased cost of living figure so arrived at. As remuneration increases beyond this point the bonus represents a diminishing percentage increase until a remuneration of 2,000l. a year is reached where no bonus is payable; and bonus is not payable at a rate which will raise the total remuneration above 2,000l. a year. Tables A and B following show the amount of bonus that would be payable, on typical rates of wages and salaries, on the basis of a figure of 70.
