### sec.5.13B Delay in attendance for duty on directed transfer to allow for objection and review
If a police officer is transferred to a position, the commissioner can not direct the officer to attend for duty in the position until—
after the time allowed for an objection under section 5 .13A(1) has ended; and
if the officer objects to the transfer—the commissioner decides the objection.
If—
the officer objects to the transfer under section 5 .13; and
the commissioner rejects the objection;
the commissioner can not direct the police officer to attend for duty until after the time allowed by regulation for an application to a commissioner for police service reviews for a review of the transfer has ended.
Despite section 9 .2, if the officer applies to a commissioner for police service reviews for a review of the transfer, the commissioner can not direct the officer to attend for duty—
if the officer then withdraws the application—until at least 14 days after the withdrawal; or
if the officer does not withdraw the application and the commissioner decides under section 9 .5 to proceed with the transfer—until at least 14 days after the day the officer receives written notice of the commissioner’s decision.
This section does not limit the commissioner’s powers to direct an officer to attend for duty in a position in circumstances the commissioner considers are urgent.
