To do this, the Chief Parliamentary Counsel must follow certain rules, like those in sections 73 and 74 of the Public Service Act 2020, as if they were in charge of a government department. The Chief Parliamentary Counsel is responsible for making sure their personnel policy is fair. This means they have to make decisions that are good for their employees.
