These amendments are technical and cover a number of matters. First of all, in relation to second jobs, the amendment relates to the prohibition of an officer of the public service undertaking any remunerative employment aside from the officer's primary job in the public service, unless he or she has the approval of the head of his or her department. To clarify the intention, clause 244 needs to be amended at paragraph 244(1)(f) by taking out all the words after "any" and substituting the words "other remunerative employment". Management standards are the subject of amendments Nos 87 and 88, which relate to clause 251. To correct an oversight, paragraph 251(2)(n) needs to be amended by inserting "resignation" after "retirement". The reference to "commencement day" in subclause 251(3) is to be omitted, to make it clear that it is intended that commencement be on the day on which the section commences under the commencement provisions of section 2 of the Act.
