“Minister and information manager must make a work agreement”

The Minister who is in charge of information management and the information manager need to work together to create an agreement. This agreement will say exactly what the information manager needs to do in their job. It will describe the kind of work, how much work, and how well the work needs to be done.

You can change this agreement or cancel it if you follow the rules written in the agreement.

The information manager must try their best to do everything the agreement says they should do, as long as the agreement is still active.
