New South Wales Consolidated Acts

PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENT AND MANAGEMENT ACT 2002 - SECT 4B

4B Employment of staff in the Government Service

(1) The Government of New South Wales may, subject to subsection (2), employ staff in any Division of the Government Service.

(2) The employment of staff in the Government Service, including the exercise of employer functions in relation to that staff, is subject to the requirements of this or any other Act relating to that staff.

Note: For example, Chapter 2 regulates the employment of staff in Divisions comprising the Public Service and sections 129-131 confer industrial relations employer functions on the Director of Public Employment in relation to the Public Service. Also, the employment of staff in a Division may, in some cases, be subject to regulations under another Act (eg section 17 of the Technical and Further Education Commission Act 1990 and sections 62, 65 and 65D of the Transport Administration Act 1988 ).

(3) Without limiting the purposes for which staff may be employed in the Government Service, staff may be employed by the Government of New South Wales under this Chapter in a Division to enable a statutory corporation to exercise its functions.
