Preservation of rights if public service officer appointed
79 Preservation of rights if public service officer appointed
A public service officer who is appointed, under this Act, to an office is entitled to retain all existing and accruing rights as if service in that office were a continuation of service as a public service officer.
If the person stops holding the office for a reason other than misconduct, the person is entitled to be employed as a public service officer.
The person is to be employed on the 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 continued in employment as a public service officer.
