Commonwealth Numbered Acts

COMMONWEALTH EMPLOYEES (REDEPLOYMENT AND RETIREMENT) ACT 1979 No. 52 of 1979 - SECT 13

13. (1) For the purposes of facilitating the performance by the Public Service
Board of the functions conferred on it by sub-section 11 (1)-

   (a)  a prescribed Commonwealth authority has such powers to employ persons,
        and to transfer persons employed by it, as are prescribed;

   (b)  without limiting the powers of a prescribed Commonwealth authority,
        the Public Service Board, after consultation with that authority-

        (i)    may, on behalf of that authority, engage as an employee of the
               authority in a permanent capacity a declared employee who is
               employed in a permanent capacity in the Australian Public
               Service or by another prescribed Commonwealth authority; and

        (ii)   may, on behalf of that authority, engage as an employee of the
               authority otherwise than in a permanent capacity a
               declared employee who is employed in the Australian Public
               Service or by another prescribed Commonwealth authority; and

   (c)  the Public Service Board may request a prescribed Commonwealth
        authority to furnish to the Board, as soon as practicable, such
        particulars as the Board specifies concerning opportunities that
        exist, or are likely to exist during a period specified by the Board,
        for employment by the authority either in a permanent capacity or in a
        temporary capacity, or both, and the authority shall comply with the
        request.

(2) Any powers conferred on a prescribed Commonwealth authority by sub-section
(1) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any powers otherwise
conferred on the authority to employ persons or to transfer persons employed
by it.

(3) Where the Public Service Board engages a declared employee as an employee
of a prescribed Commonwealth authority under paragraph (1) (b), the Board may,
after consultation with that authority, determine the salary payable to that
employee upon his being so engaged.

(4) The engagement, by the Public Service Board, of a person in the employment
of a prescribed Commonwealth authority has the same force and effect for all
purposes as it would have if the person had been so engaged by the authority.

(5) In this section, a reference to a declared employee shall be read as a
reference to a person declared, by a redeployment declaration that is in
force, to be, for the reason referred to in sub-paragraph 7 (1) (b) (i),
eligible for redeployment in accordance with this Part.
