Paragraph 5 StaffF1

The Office may appoint such number of staff as the Office may determine.

The terms and conditions of a person’s appointment are to be determined by the Office; but that is subject to the provisions of this Schedule.

The Office may pay to or in respect of a member of staff such remuneration, allowances, fees and sums for the provision of a pension as the Office may determine.

Where a person ceases to be a member of staff otherwise than on the expiration of a term of appointment and the Office determines that special circumstances justify compensation, the Office may pay to or in respect of the person such amount as the Office may determine.

A determination of the Office under this paragraph requires the approval of the Executive Office and Department of Finance.
