Information
To the Honorable Supreme Court,
I respectfully submit this request for statutory interpretation regarding Employment Act 2025, Part 3, Section 1(1)(1).
The provision currently appears to require that, in order to hire a Low Rank into a branch, the individual must have not been GS-1 to GS-4 for the last six hours. Respectfully, I believe the wording may create ambiguity in its practical application.
The concern is that Low Ranks, by nature of their position, cannot exceed GS-4 prior to being hired into a branch. Therefore, a literal reading of the provision may conflict with the apparent legislative intention, which seems to be that a Low Rank must have been employed as a Low Rank for at least six hours before becoming eligible for branch hire.
Accordingly, I request that the Supreme Court review and clarify the meaning of this provision.
Respectfully submitted,
