Employee service definitions clarify appointments, postings, pay, service periods, delegation, and inclusive construction across employment administration.

Employee service administration is defined through concepts of absorption, appointment and disciplinary authority, deputation, external assignment, duty, service, leave pay and remuneration. Deputation entails remuneration being borne by the borrowing organisation, while an external assignment entails remuneration being borne by the Authority. Substantive pay is limited to basic pay for the substantive post and excludes special pay, personal pay and allowances. Service excludes unauthorised absence or leave overstay unless specifically permitted, and gendered expressions apply inclusively where context permits.
