7A Review of senior executive structure for implementation of new executive employment arrangements under this Act

(1) The Secretary of each Department is to review the senior executive structure of the Department and its related Public Service agencies in order to transition senior executive employment in the Department and related agencies to the new arrangements under this Act.

(2) The head of a separate Public Service agency is to review the senior executive structure of the agency in order to transition senior executive employment in the agency to the new arrangements under this Act.

(2A) After the Secretary of a Department or the head of a separate Public Service agency completes the review, a senior executive implementation plan is to be submitted to the Commissioner that outlines the proposed transition of senior executive employment to the new arrangements under this Act, including a proposed timetable to transition to those new arrangements by 24 February 2017.

(3) The Commissioner may approve a senior executive implementation plan and determine the date (before 24 February 2017) on which senior executive employment in a Public Service agency, or in a part of a Public Service agency, is to transition to those new arrangements (the implementation date for the agency or part of the agency). The date so determined may be changed by a further determination of the Commissioner (but only to a date before 24 February 2017).

(3A) The date on which a person ceases to be a transitional former senior executive referred to in clause 8 is the implementation date for the Public Service agency or relevant part of the Public Service agency in which the person is employed, unless another date becomes the implementation date for the executive under subclause (3B), (3C), (3D) or (3E) or a different date is determined for the executive in accordance with this clause (the implementation date for the executive).

(3B) If, before the implementation date for the Public Service agency or relevant part of the Public Service agency, a transitional former senior executive—

(a) is employed in a role (other than by temporary assignment) in the new senior executive structure of the agency or of another agency and enters into a contract of employment under this Act, or

(b) is employed in a non-executive role (other than by temporary assignment) under Division 5 of Part 4 of this Act,
