183: Decision or exercise of power suspended until determination made
or “While the boss decides, most actions are paused, but some safety steps can still happen.”

You could also call this:

“The boss must choose if they will make a big decision within 10 work days and tell everyone involved.”

The chief executive has to make a decision about whether they will make a determination. They need to do this within 10 working days after they get an application for a determination. After they decide, they have to tell the people involved in writing. This means the chief executive will send a letter or email to let everyone know what they decided.
