Ongoing employment – Recruitment and related issues

Frequently Asked Questions

4. Does an excess employee have any special status in a selection process?

There is no legislative requirement for an Agency Head to consider an excess employee in isolation from, and not in competition with, other candidates for an employment opportunity. There may, however, be provisions in an agency's Certified Agreement or undertakings in individual AWAs concerning the assignment of duties to an excess employee within the Agency.
