EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

PUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENT AMENDMENT STANDARD 2006 (No 2)
DISALLOWABLE INSTRUMENT N0 DI2006-4

Public Sector Management Act 1994

Legislative Context

The Public Sector Management Act 1994 (the Act) regulates the management of the public sector and, in particular, section 251 of the Act empowers the Commissioner, with the written approval of the Chief Minister, to make Public Sector Management Standards (the Standards) for the purposes of the Act.

Outline
The amendments to the Introduction Standard and Standards 2 and 3 update the method used to recognise prior service for the purposes of determining eligibility for long service leave, maternity leave, personal leave and other ACT Public Service (ACTPS) entitlements affected by length of service.  

The amendments apply to staff employed in the ACTPS from 23 January 2006.  Standard 2 Part 7 (Rule 2) provides that previous arrangements for the recognition of prior service (those arrangements in the Standards before 23 January 2006) continue to apply to staff that were employed before 23 January 2006.

The amendment to Standard 3, Part 19 (Rule 9) replaces the prescriptive list of organisations in which prior service is recognised for long service leave with a definition based approach (new Rule 9) and a Chief Executive discretion (new Rule 10).  

New Rule 9 (Standard 3, Part 19) establishes specific parameters within which prior service is recognised for the purposes of long service leave.  That is, previous employment that falls within the definition is to be taken into account as if it had been ‘employment by the Territory’ for the purposes of sections 150 and 154 of the Act.  The definition can be applied to organisations, bodies or corporations from all Australian public services.

New Rule 10 (Standard 3, Part 19) provides Chief Executives with discretion to recognise prior service within certain parameters. Chief Executives may only exercise this discretion for the purposes of long service leave on a case-by-case basis in certain circumstances. 

For the purposes of new Rules 9 and 10 in Standard 3 (Part 19), definitions of government and government owned are included in Rule 2 (Standard 3, Part 19).

The amendments to Standard 3, Part 20 update the method used for prescribing employment for the purposes of section 170(3) of the Act, which is the entitlement to receive paid maternity leave.  The method established by old Rule 2, and the prescriptive list (old Rule 3), are replaced with a definition (new Rule 2) and a Chief Executive discretion (new Rule 3).  The definition and discretion use similar terms as the amendments to Standard 3, Part 19 for long service leave.  However, consistent with current arrangements, ‘prescribed employment’ for maternity leave purposes is limited to Commonwealth and Australian Capital Territory bodies, organisations or corporations.

Standard 3, Part 18, Rule 13 recognises prior service for personal leave purposes and relies on the prescriptive list for the recognition of long service leave (old Rule 9).  Consequential amendments have been made to Part 18, Rule 13 to remove references to the prescriptive list (Part 19, Rule 9) and replace them with references to new Rules 9 and 10 (Standard 3, Part 19).  Changes were also made to remove reference to half-pay personal leave credits as these are no longer granted under the Rules for the granting of personal leave in the Standards.  

Where employment cannot be recognised as prior service under the definition based approach or the Chief Executive discretion, new Standard 2, Part 7, Rule 10 creates discretion for the Commissioner to approve the recognition of previous employment as prior service where the employment was predominantly for a public purpose.  The approval must be in writing and must specify the entitlements for which the employment will count as prior service.  For this purpose, the amendments also insert definitions of public purpose and prior service into Rule 2 of the Introduction Standard.  

Amendments are also made to Standard 3, Part 19, Rule 5 to remove outdated information, as service with the Commonwealth or public authority is recognised for long service leave purposes under new Rules 9 and 10 (Standard 3, Part 19).  The provision has been renamed to reflect the narrower focus of the Rule.  Changes are also made to the structure of the provision to enhance the clarity of the Rule.

Rule 2 in Standard 2, Part 7 has been revoked as previous employment that constitutes prior service is regulated under new Rules 9 and 10 (Standard 3, Part 19), new Rules 2 and 3 (Standard 3, Part 20), Rule 13 (Standard 3, Part 18) and Rule 10 (Standard 2, Part 7).  The definitions of public authority and officer for Part 7 (Standard 2) is included in the new interpretation clause in Rule 1 (Part 7, Standard 2), which replaces the former application clause.

Other minor and consequential amendments are made to the Standards.  Minor formatting changes were made to other interpretation Rules, to provide consistency with other legislation.  

Financial Impact
The financial impact for recognising prior service is funded by agencies.  It is possible that these amendments will enable some new like entities to be recognised, resulting in additional costs being incurred by agencies.  

Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Statement
To provide context for these amendments, the text of each Rule immediately before this instrument took effect are contained in Schedule 1.  Where a new Rule is inserted, and there is no corresponding previous rule, this will be reflected in the instrument using the words ‘Insert Standard …’.

Standard 2, Part 7, Rule 1

1.	Application

This Part applies to officers and employees.
Standard 2, Part 7, Rule 2

2.	Qualifying employment

A ‘public authority’ for the purposes of Part VII of the Act and this Part is one that is listed in Standard 3, Part 19, Long Service Leave 9.1.

Standard 3, Part 18, Rule 13

13.	Recognition of prior service for personal leave

An officer who is entitled to personal leave credits and meets the criteria in these Rules is entitled to have prior permanent and temporary service with approved organisations recognised for the purpose of personal leave.

The organisations listed in Part 19 Rule 9.1 are those for which prior service can be recognised provided that:
•	any break in service is no more than two months; or
•	for any longer break, the Commissioner determines that special circumstances exist.

Special circumstances could include:
•	delay in commencing service because of unforeseen complications or deficient administration;
•	an unduly protracted selection and appointment process;
•	inadequate or incorrect advice regarding a suitable commencement date; or
•	other problems which, through no fault of the staff member, prevented the taking up of an offer of employment within the required time.

Prior part-time service with an organisation listed in Part 19 Rule 9.1, must only be counted as service for personal leave purposes if:
•	part-time service has been for at least 24 hours a week on at least four days a week;
•	the service attracted an entitlement to personal leave;
•	the part-time service occurred after 1 March 1990; and 
•	the service attracted a salary loading in lieu of leave, and was rendered between 1 March 1990 and 15 July 1991.

If prior service with an organisation is recognised for personal leave, an officer will accrue personal leave credits from the first date of service so recognised with the following provisos:

•	from the personal leave credits established, a deduction is made of personal leave actually taken while employed in that recognised prior service, and a deduction of any personal leave credits for which payment in lieu was made by that organisation on separation;
•	if the deduction required exceeds the full-pay personal leave credit so established, the excess personal leave is deducted from the half-pay personal credit - for example, an excess of two weeks full-pay will reduce the half-pay credit by four weeks;
•	if the deduction required exceeds the half-pay personal leave credit as well, then the prior service is only recognised for the purposes of conversion of half-pay personal leave credits to full-pay; and 
•	if there are no available records, five days full-pay personal leave per annum assumed usage is to be deducted.  For eligible temporary staff with prior service during their first year of service and the total period of continuous prior service and current service is less than twelve months, the effect is to bring forward the current accrual.

Standard 3, Part 19, Rule 2

2.	Interpretation

In this Part, unless the contrary intention appears

'dependant' includes a person who was being maintained wholly or partly by the officer at the time of the employee's death

'Higher Duties Allowance' (‘HDA’) means the allowance paid to an officer who is directed to perform the duties of a higher office

•	an employee;
•	a statutory office holder; and
•	a person employed by a Territory instrumentality or by a statutory office holder.

'minor' means a person under the age of eighteen years

‘relevant day’ in relation to a person who ceases to be an officer, means the day on which they cease to be an officer.

Standard 3, Part 19, Rule 5

5.	Previous employment for LSL

Subject to the provisions of the Act dealing with continuity of employment, previous employment with the Commonwealth of Australia or a public authority must be counted towards an officer's employment for LSL. 

'Public authority' is defined in section 149 of the Act. A list of the public authorities which are to be taken into account for the purposes of section 150 and 154 of the Act is at Rule 9.1 of this Part.

The relevant Chief Executive may approve applications for recognition of a period of unrecorded employment if three statutory declarations are submitted.  One must be completed by the applicant and two by persons who were associated with the applicant departmentally for the period or periods in question.
