Legal Profession Act 2007

A public service officer seconded as mentioned in section 592(3)—

is entitled to the person’s existing and accruing rights as if employment as a member of the staff of the commission were a continuation of employment as a public service officer; and

may apply for positions, and be employed in, the public service as if the person were a public service officer.

When the secondment ends, the person’s employment on secondment as a member of the staff of the commission is employment of the same nature in the public service for working out the person’s rights as a public service officer.

If the secondment ended for a reason other than misconduct, the person is entitled to be employed—

as a public service officer; and

on the same, or a higher, classification level and remuneration that the Public Sector Commissioner under the Public Sector Act 2022 or another entity prescribed under a regulation considers the person would have attained in the ordinary course of progression if the person had not been seconded.
