Permanent employees retiring or resigning before disciplinary action is taken
32G Permanent employees retiring or resigning before disciplinary action is taken
An allegation that a permanent employee has engaged in misconduct may be dealt with under this Part, and disciplinary action may be taken with respect to the employee, even though the employee has retired or resigned.
The taking of disciplinary action (other than a fine) with respect to the former permanent employee does not affect the former employee’s retirement or resignation or the benefits, rights and liabilities arising from the retirement or resignation.
A fine imposed under any such disciplinary action may be recovered from the former permanent employee as a debt due to the Crown in any court of competent jurisdiction, or out of any money payable to or in respect of the former employee by the Crown, or both.
A reference in this section to the resignation of a permanent employee is a reference to a resignation that has been accepted by the Secretary.
