POST OFFICE REGULATIONS
STATUS OF BOYS ENTERING SERVICE An amendment to the Post and Telegraph (Staff) Regulations, 1925, alters the name of “message boys” to “junior assistants,” and increases the overtime rate from not less than eightpence to not less than one shilling an hour. The amendment also provides that officers in receipt of less than £565 per annum are entitled to overtime payments. Overtime payments shall be computed on the basis of the salary payable at the time of service. It was explained by the Chief Postmaster, Mr H. Tremewan, that the term “telegraph message boy” has long disappeared. They are now junior assistants, and their training period commences almost as soon as they enter the service. Many of the junior assistants who have commenced in the Nelson office during the last 12 months have already so progressed in their training that they have taken up more responsible duties.
