For example, the signpost definition ‘section 29 register—see section 29.’ means that the expression ‘section 29 register’ is defined in that section 29.
Note 2	A definition in the dictionary applies to the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act, provides otherwise or the contrary intention appears (see Interpretation Act 1967, s 11F and s 11G).
3	What are cleaning work and the contract cleaning industry
	(1)	For this Act, cleaning work is—
	(a)	work carried out in the ACT that has, as its sole or main component, the bringing of premises into, or maintaining premises in, a clean condition; or
	(b)	work carried out by an employee outside the ACT that is taken to be cleaning work under section 4 (Work outside the ACT); or
	(c)	work declared by the Minister under section 3C (1) (c) to be cleaning work.
	(2)	For this Act, the contract cleaning industry is the industry in which employers provide cleaning work to other people through the provision of employees’ services.
3A	Who is an employer
	(1)	For this Act, a person is an employer—
	(a)	if the person—
	(i)	is engaged in the contract cleaning industry in the ACT; and
	(ii)	employs (whether in the ACT or elsewhere) 1 or more people to carry out cleaning work; and
	(iii)	is not a person mentioned in subsection (2); or
	(b)	if the person is declared to be an employer by the Minister under section 3C (Declarations by Minister about coverage of Act).
	(2)	The following are not employers for this Act:
	(a)	the Territory;
	(b)	the Commonwealth;
	(c)	the Australian National University;
	(d)	the University of Canberra.
3B	Who is an employee
For this Act, a person is an employee if—
	(a)	the person is employed (whether in the ACT or elsewhere) by an employer to carry out cleaning work; or
	(b)	if the person is declared to be an employee by the Minister under section 3C.
3C	Declarations by Minister about coverage of Act
	(1)	The Minister may, in writing, declare—
	(a)	a person to be an employer; or
	(b)	a person to be an employee or an employee of a particular employer; or
	(c)	a kind of work to be cleaning work.
	(2)	The Minister may not declare under subsection (1) (a) a person mentioned in section 3 (2).
	(3)	A person declared to be an employer by the Minister under subsection (1) (a) is taken, for this Act, to be engaged in the contract cleaning industry.
	(4)	A person declared to be an employee of a particular employer is taken, for this Act, to be employed by the person who is declared to be the person’s employer.
	(5)	A declaration under subsection (1) is a disallowable instrument.
Note	A disallowable instrument must be notified, and presented to the Legislative Assembly, under the Subordinate Laws Act 1989.
3D	What is an employment period
	(1)	An employment period of a registered employee is a period—
	(a)	beginning on a day when the person becomes an employee of an employer (and is not already an employee of another employer); and
	(b)	ending on the day when the person next ceases to be an employee of an employer (and is not already an employee of another employer).
	(2)	For subsection (1), the continuity of the employment period of a registered employee who ceases to be the employee of an employer but on the next day becomes the employee of another employer is not interrupted by the change in employment.
	(3)	For subsection (1), an employment period of a registered employee is taken to end on the last day of the employment period if, for the next employment period (the later period)—
	(a)	the employer of the employee gives to the board a return under section 39 (Quarterly returns) showing that the employer made no payment of ordinary wages to the employee in the later period; or
	(b)	if the employee had 2 or more employers for the later period—each of the employers gives a return to the board showing that the employer made no payment of ordinary wages to the employee in the later period.
	(4)	Despite subsection (1), a registered employee’s employment period is taken to include any days when the employee does not carry out cleaning work because—
	(a)	of incapacity for an injury for which the employee is entitled to be paid compensation under the Workers’ Compensation Act 1951 by an employer; or
	(b)	the employee has been dismissed by an employer to ensure that the employee does not take long service leave while in the employer’s employment.
	(5)	For this section, a person is taken to have become an employee on the later of—
	(a)	23 June 2000; and
	(b)	the date when the person became an employee.
4 	Work outside the ACT
	Work carried out by an employee outside the ACT is taken to be cleaning work if—
	(a)	that work would, if it were carried out in the ACT, be cleaning work; and
