34.5 NWH for Reservists
NWH is based on average number of hours worked in each week by the Reservist client in his or her employment (both Reserve and civilian) during the relevant period as calculated for the purpose of applying the formula in Subsections 8(1) or (2). The relevant period is taken under the Act to be the 'latest period of 2 weeks before the date of the injury'.
The ADF Pay and Conditions Manual (PACMAN) states that members of the Reserve Forces on Reserve service, apart from those officers who hold special appointments, shall be credited with pay as follows:
- for a period of not less than six hours – one day's pay
- for a period of less than six hours but not less than three hours – one-half day's pay
- for a period of less than three hours but not less than two hours – one-third day's pay, and
- for a period of not less than one hour but less than two hours – one-sixth day's pay.
