Energy Safe Victoria Act 2005

On the commencement day the person who holds the office of the chief electrical inspector under the Electricity Safety Act 1998 immediately before that day is deemed to be an employee of Energy Safe Victoria, with the same accrued and accruing entitlements as applied to that person immediately before that day as the chief electrical inspector and on the terms and conditions determined by the Minister, unless that person is appointed as the Director of Energy Safety under Part 2 with effect from that day.

On the commencement day any person who was an employee of OCEI immediately before that day is deemed to be an employee of Energy Safe Victoria on the same terms and conditions and with the same accrued and accruing entitlements as applied to that person immediately before that day as an employee of OCEI.

If subsection (2) applies to a person—

the service of the person as an employee with Energy Safe Victoria is to be regarded for all purposes as having been continuous with the service of the employee with OCEI; and

the person is not entitled to receive any payment or other benefit by reason only of having ceased to be an employee of OCEI.

Nothing in this section prevents an employee of OCEI from resigning or being dismissed at any time after the commencement day in accordance with the terms and conditions of his or her employment.
