sec.29D Preservation of rights if public service employee engaged
A public service employee engaged under section 27 — keeps the person’s existing and accruing rights to superannuation or recreation, sick, long service or other leave as if employment as a member of the staff of the audit office were a continuation of employment as a public service employee; and may apply for positions, and be employed, in the public service as if the person were a public service employee.

If the engagement ended for a reason other than misconduct, the person is entitled— to return to the person’s employment as a public service employee; and to be employed on the same terms of employment as applied to the person’s employment as a public service employee before the engagement, subject to any subsequent variation of the terms under— any relevant laws or industrial instruments applying to the person’s employment; or the person’s contract of employment. s 29D ins 2022 No. 33 s 14 amd 2024 No. 3 s 10 (sec.29D-ssec.1) A public service employee engaged under section 27 — keeps the person’s existing and accruing rights to superannuation or recreation, sick, long service or other leave as if employment as a member of the staff of the audit office were a continuation of employment as a public service employee; and may apply for positions, and be employed, in the public service as if the person were a public service employee.
