Instead, they keep their existing Public Service sick leave entitlements.\n*   **Preservation of rights:** Time spent working as an Inspector now counts as continuous service in the Commonwealth Public Service. This protects the officer’s accumulated benefits—such as superannuation, long service leave, and promotion seniority—so they don’t lose out while seconded to the inspection role.\n\nIn short, these rules make it easier to recruit experienced public servants as Inspectors without disadvantaging their public service careers."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/c1940l00292","history":"/api/acts/c1940l00292/history","analysis":"/api/acts/c1940l00292/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/c1940l00292/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/c1940l00292/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/c1940l00292/documents"}}
