CHIEF SECRETARY:
Sir,
As at 1 January 1988, 299 directorate officers. were employed on agreement (contract) terms out of a total of 1,024 directorate officers. Of those employed on agreement terms, 77 were retired officers re employed on agreement terms. As these 77 officers were previously employed on pensionable terms, they are governed by the rules on post-retirement applicable to pensionable officers. The rules require them to seek permission to take up outside employment within two years of finally
that is, leaving government service
service.e. within the two-year period after expiry of their final agreement.
