### sec.584 Water authority may enter into work performance arrangements
A water authority may enter into, and give effect to, a work performance arrangement with the appropriate authority of a government entity.
A work performance arrangement may make provision for all matters necessary or convenient to be provided under the arrangement.
For example, a work performance arrangement may provide for—
the appointment of a person to an office, and the holding of the office by the person, for the arrangement; and
the authorising of a person to exercise powers for the arrangement; and
whether payment is to be made for work done under the arrangement and, if so, what payment is to be made and who is to make the payment.
A person performing work for a water authority under a work performance arrangement entered into under subsection (1) —
is not employed by the water authority; and
remains an employee of the government entity whose appropriate authority is a party to the arrangement.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that a water authority does not have power to employ a person performing work for the water authority under a work performance arrangement entered into under subsection (1) .
