(3) Appointments for subsection (2) are to be made under the Public Service Act 2008.

(4) The remuneration under the Public Service Act 2008 of a person under an appointment under subsection (3) must not be less than the remuneration to which the person would have been entitled if the person’s employment as an officer or employee of Queensland Corrections had continued.

(5) The person may claim against the department all entitlements accrued as an officer or employee of Queensland Corrections.

(6) The person’s leave entitlements are to be calculated as if previous service as an officer of the public service and service as an officer or employee of the Queensland Corrective Services Commission or Queensland Corrections and service as a public service employee were continuous service as a public service employee.

(7) To remove any doubt, it is declared that for this section an officer or employee of Queensland Corrections includes a person appointed under a fixed-term contract of employment.

(8) In this section—

"remuneration" means total remuneration including entitlements.
