You could also call this:

“Who helps the Employment Relations Authority do its job”

The chief executive can choose some employees from the department to work for the Employment Relations Authority. You need to know that these employees work under the chief executive’s direction. The department will give the Authority the employees and resources it needs to do its job.

The department’s employees can do other jobs in the department too, except when section 153(6) says they cannot. This means that some employees can have more than one role. The chief executive and the department decide who works for the Authority and what they do.

The Authority gets the help it needs from the department’s employees and resources. This help is so the Authority can make good decisions and do its job properly. The department makes sure the Authority has what it needs to work well.
