168: Oath of office
or “Members promise to do their job fairly and honestly before they start work.”

You could also call this:

“How long someone can work for the Employment Relations Authority and if they can work there again”

When you become a member of the Employment Relations Authority, you can be appointed for up to 4 years. After your term ends, you can be appointed again. There’s no limit to how many times you can be reappointed.

If you’re being considered for reappointment, the Minister in charge needs to think about a few things. If the Chief of the Authority has written a report about you under section 166A(3), the Minister must read and consider this report before recommending your reappointment under section 167.
