##### 15 Enactment may provide for promotion appeals to be heard by Promotion Appeal Committees
(1) An enactment may provide that appeals of a specified kind in relation to promotions of Commonwealth employees, not being appeals to which section 9 applies, may be made to a Promotion Appeal Committee established in accordance with this Subdivision and where an enactment so provides:
(a) the Agency shall, from time to time, arrange for the establishment of such Promotion Appeal Committees as appear to it to be required for the purposes of hearing appeals of that kind;
(b) in hearing an appeal of that kind a Promotion Appeal Committee has and may exercise the same powers in respect of procedure that it would have or could exercise if it were hearing an appeal to which section 9 applies; and
(c) the enactment may make such modification to sections 10, 11, 12 and 13 and to paragraph (b) of this subsection, in their application to appeals of that kind, as are necessary to enable a Promotion Appeal Committee to be constituted to hear appeals of that kind.
(2) In subsection (1), promotion includes the selection of a Commonwealth employee to perform temporarily the duties of an office or position of a classification higher than the classification of the office or position held by the Commonwealth employee.
