96 Right of return to public service
A person who is the existing deputy auditor-general or an existing staff member may, within 6 months after the commencement, elect to return to being a public service employee by giving written notice to the auditor-general.
Note—See also section 29C in relation to a person who is appointed as a public service employee after being the deputy auditor-general or a member of the staff of the audit office.
An election under subsection (1) takes effect when the person who made the election is transferred to a department or public service entity as a public service employee.
On a person’s return to the public service—
the person is taken not to have stopped being a public service employee when the person’s employment changed under section 95(1); and
the person’s service as a public service employee is taken to have continued while the person was employed in the audit office under this Act; and
the person’s terms of employment are the same terms of employment that applied to the person immediately before the person’s employment changed under section 95(1), subject to any changes in relevant laws or industrial instruments applying to the person’s employment.
Subsection (3) does not allow the person to claim the benefit of a right or entitlement more than once in relation to the same period of service.
