Employment service definitions clarify deputation, external assignments, family benefits, pay components, authorised duty and qualifying service periods.

Regulation 3 defines the employment and remuneration framework for Authority employees. It distinguishes deputation, where the borrowing organisation bears remuneration, from external assignment, where remuneration remains borne by the Authority, and provides for absorption after deputation. Duty and service include authorised periods of probation, training and leave, while unauthorised absence is excluded unless specifically permitted. The provision also defines family, dependants, leave pay, substantive pay, special pay, personal pay, special allowance and compensatory allowance, and applies governing Act and regulatory definitions to undefined expressions.
