Section 47 of the Public Sector Act 2009 (SA) is confined to the determination of duties within an employee's existing employment and does not authorise the transfer of an employee to a new position with a different title, different duties, and reduced classification; such a transfer must be effected under s 9(3) on conditions maintaining the employee's substantive remuneration level. A valid exercise of the s 9(3) transfer power does not constitute repudiation or termination of an executive employee's contract. 'Substantive remuneration level' is distinct from both 'remuneration' and 'classification level'.
