Appointment of temporary detention centre employees during emergency period
301D Appointment of temporary detention centre employees during emergency period
The chief executive may, during an emergency period, appoint an appropriately qualified person as a temporary detention centre employee.
However, subsection (1) applies only if the chief executive is satisfied the appointment is reasonably necessary for—
the security and management of 1 or more detention centres; and
the safe custody and wellbeing of children detained in 1 or more detention centres.
A temporary detention centre employee is appointed under this Act and not the Public Service Act 2008.
A temporary detention centre employee holds office on the terms and conditions, not provided for by this Act, decided by the chief executive.
Unless an appointment under subsection (1) is sooner revoked, the appointment ends on—
the day emergency period ends; or
the earlier day stated in the instrument of appointment.
The chief executive must revoke an appointment under subsection (1) if satisfied the appointment is no longer reasonably necessary for the purpose mentioned in subsection (2).
