### sec.474 Preservation of rights as public service officer
This section applies if—
a person is appointed as the manager; and
the person resigns the person’s role as a public service officer to accept the appointment.
The person retains and is entitled to all rights that have accrued to the person because of the person’s employment as a public service officer, or that would accrue in the future to the person because of that employment, as if service as the manager were a continuation of service as a public service officer.
At the end of the person’s term of office or on resignation—
the person is entitled to be appointed to an office in the public service at a salary level not less than the current salary level of an office equivalent to the office the person held before being appointed as the manager; and
the person’s service as the manager is to be regarded as service of a similar kind in the public service for deciding the person’s rights as a public service officer.
