(a) a person is appointed as the manager; and
(b) the person resigns the person’s role as a public service officer to
accept the appointment.
(2) 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.
(3) At the end of the person’s term
of office or on resignation—
(a) 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
(b) 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.
