35 Circumstances when SETs may be changed The engager of an SES member may change the SES member’s SETs if— (a) the SES member, in writing, asks for the change and the engager is satisfied the request is reasonable; or (b) the engager is satisfied the change is required for the efficient and effective management of the service; or (c) the SES member is selected for another SES position in accordance with a selection process. Example—par (a) Gillian asks to change from full-time to part-time employment.
Example—par (b) John has expertise that is relevant to an emerging critical issue. John’s administrative unit and functions are changed when he is moved to a whole-of-government taskforce to address the issue. None of John’s other SETs are changed. Example—par (c) Barlow, a part-time, temporary executive, is selected for a full-time, permanent SES position in a different administrative unit, at a different classification. All of Barlow’s SETs are changed. Note An SES position may be changed by changing 1 or more SETs (see s 33 (1)).
