Public Audit Act 2001

Transitional provisions - Employees in Audit Department to be employees of Auditor-General

60: Protection of conditions of employment

You could also call this:

"Your job conditions stay the same if you work for the Audit Department."

Illustration for Public Audit Act 2001

If you are an employee in the Audit Department, your job conditions are protected. When this Act started, your employment contract was not broken, it continued as before. Your time working for the Audit Department and any other time they considered as continuous service will now be considered as time working for the Auditor-General, as explained in section 59. You will keep the same job conditions you had before this Act started. This means that you can still use your previous work experience as part of your overall work history with the Auditor-General.
