A suspension under subsection (2) continues at the Secretary's discretion until—

the employee is registered under Part 2.6; or

the employee is dismissed from, or otherwise ceases to be an employee of, the government ELC workforce.

If an employee—

is refused registration under Part 2.6 or has had the employee's registration under that Part suspended or cancelled; and

The Secretary must notify in writing a person whose employment has ceased under subsection (4).

A person who ceases to be an employee under subsection (4) may apply in writing to the Secretary to be reinstated.

If the Secretary directs in writing that the person be reinstated, the person's employment is taken not to have ceased under subsection (4).
