  • (b) an employee referred to in subsection 7(1) or 9(1) who holds a substantive position that is at a lower level than the position they held immediately before they became entitled to priority under one of those provisions, if their period of employment in that position has been converted to indeterminate under subsection 59(1) of the Act.

• Marginal note:Entitlement period

  (2) The entitlement period begins on the day of the appointment, deployment or conversion and ends on the earliest of

  • (a) the first anniversary of that day,

  • (b) the day on which the employee is appointed or deployed for an indeterminate period to a position in the public service that is at a level that is not lower than the position that the employee held immediately before their entitlement to a priority under section 40 or subsection 41(1) or (4) of the Act or subsection 5(1), 7(1) or 9(1) of these Regulations, as the case may be, took effect, and
