MaPS Work base
MOP(S) Act employees are required to nominate a work base as agreed by your employing Senator, member or authorised person. Your work base will be the place of work where you spend most time on duty. This may be distant from your home.
If you are an Electorate Officer, your work base must be:
-
your employing parliamentarian’s electorate office
-
the office at Parliament House or another office provided at the Commonwealth expense.
The Special Minister of State may approve a different work base for an Electorate Officer in special circumstances. You will need the Minister’s approval to be based in a privately funded or privately leased electorate office.
If you are a personal employee, your work base must be:
-
your employing parliamentarian’s electorate office
-
the office at Parliament House or another office provided at Commonwealth expense.
The Special Minister of State may approve a different work base for personal employees. You will need the Minister’s approval to be based in a privately funded or privately leased electorate office. See MaPS website work bases for more information.
