The Government Sector Employment Act 2013 (GSE Act) provides for a common employment framework for Public Service senior executives with an emphasis on capabilities, performance, development and mobility.
The Chief Executive Service, Senior Executive Service and award based senior officers and equivalent roles have been replaced by the GSE Act Public Service senior executive structure.
It is intended that a former senior officer who is subsequently employed as a Public Service senior executive and assigned to a role that is of equivalent work value to the position they held immediately before the repeal of the PSEM Act will be no worse off financially in the role when compared to the remuneration payable to them immediately before the repeal of the Public Sector Employment and Management Act 2002.
Public Service agencies who pay an allowance under clause 8B(4) of Schedule 4 of the GSE Act must determine the allowance in accordance with the attached guidelines.
