7.11.7 Wages/salary payment notice rate determination
7.11.7.1 — If DVA holds current (i.e. no more than 3 months old) information about the debtor's financial circumstances, payment notice instalments should be set at a reasonable rate according to that information.
7.11.7.2 — Where no current financial information is available, the rate of payment notice recovery on a debtor's wages or salary should be 10% of the debtor's gross wage/salary or $50 per week, whichever is greater.
7.11.7.3 — If the debtor requests a review of the repayment rate because of hardship, see paragraph 7.9.4 Hardship earlier in this chapter.
7.11.7.4 — Care should be taken that the amount being pursued by payment notice recovery does not adversely affect the debtor's incentive to remain in employment.
