is accompanied by any document or material provided to the employer for the government officer’s reclassification claim; and

has attached to it the particulars approved by the Chief Commissioner from time to time.

Unless the Commission otherwise directs, the Registrar must, as soon as practicable after the application is made, serve a copy of the application and its accompanying documents or materials on the government officer’s employer.

An employer that is served with a copy of the application and that wants to respond to the application must file a response in the approved form within 21 days after being served with a copy of the application.

Unless the Commission otherwise directs, the Registrar must, as soon as practicable after the response is filed, serve a copy of the response on the government officer.
