What happens if a prospective employee has received a redundancy benefit from a Commonwealth employer?
PS Commissioner’s Direction 4.4 explains the circumstances in which an agency head may engage an employee who has previously received a redundancy benefit from the Commonwealth. In this context, ‘Commonwealth employment’ includes employment in an APS agency or a non-APS Commonwealth body. The Commission’s website contains advice about which agencies are APS agencies. The Department of Finance and Deregulation’s website at http://www.finance.gov.au contains a list of other Commonwealth bodies. Further information on these requirements can be obtained from the Commission website and from the Ongoing employment: Recruitment and Related Issues booklet.
