This Division tells you how to work out the normal earnings for a person:
(a) who was a Permanent Forces member or a continuous full - time Reservist when the service injury or disease occurred; and
(b) who was a part - time Reservist when he or she left the Defence Force; and
(c) whose last period of full - time service was as a continuous full - time Reservist.
The person has a one - off choice between 2 ways of working out normal earnings. Normal earnings can be based on the amount the person would have earned if the person were still a continuous full - time Reservist. (This amount is called the full - time ADF earnings.) Alternatively, normal earnings can be based on the person's earnings from other work engaged in before beginning his or her last period of continuous full - time service. (This amount is called the pre - CFTS earnings.)
Normal earnings worked out under this Division might be adjusted under Part 5.
Subdivision D tells you how to work out the normal weekly hours for a person who chooses the pre - CFTS earnings. (Normal weekly hours for a person who chooses the ADF earnings are 37.5 hours (see subsection 132(2).)
