140: Recognition of certain persons without application

You could also call this:

"Some people can be approved to do certain jobs without applying, like government workers."

The chief executive can recognise certain people to do specific jobs without getting an application under section 139(1). You might be recognised if you are an officer or employee of the Ministry, a department as defined in section 5 of the Public Service Act 2020, or a territorial authority. The rules in section 139(2) and (3) also apply to these recognitions, with some changes to make them fit.
