Western Australian Consolidated Regulations Western Australian Consolidated Regulations (1) Subject to
subregulation (2), a person to whom a severance payment is made under
regulation 6, 7, 15, 16 or 17 shall not subsequently be employed in the
Public Sector before the expiry of the number of weeks ( the period of
restriction ) after the day on which the severance payment is made that is
equal to the total of —
(a) the
number of weeks in respect of which the person received a severance payment
under this Part ( the severance pay period ); and
(b) the
number of weeks in respect of which the person received cash payment in lieu
of accrued annual leave or long service leave.
(2) The Minister may
in writing, as from a specified day, exempt from subregulation (1) a
person to whose employment that subregulation would otherwise apply.
(3) If the
person’s severance pay period exceeds the portion of the period of
restriction up to the specified day, the exemption is subject to the person
repaying to the employing authority an amount that bears to the severance
payment the same proportion as the excess bears to the severance pay period.
