One of the Commissioner's most visible roles is in the employment, supervision and dismissal of senior executives in individual Government departments; by preventing Ministers of the Crown from becoming personally involved in employment decisions, this acts as a safeguard against politicisation of the public service. The Commissioner also has power to issue codes of conduct for parts of the public service, to investigate Government departments, and to advise the Government on the organisation of the public service. </p><p>The Commissioner has a statutory duty to act independently of Ministerial direction, except in matters concerning the appointment and dismissal of Departmental chief executives. </p><p>Regarding the appointment of Departmental chief executives, the Commissioner plays a key role. The Commissioner is responsible for: </p> <ul><li>Notifying the responsible Minister or Ministers of the vacancy;</li> <li>Advertising the position;</li> <li>Assembling an interviewing panel which includes, at minimum, the Commissioner and his or her Deputy; the Commissioner may invite others in consultation with the Minister;</li> <li>Recommending the preferred candidate to the Minister, who will then refer the recommendation to the Governor-General in Council.</li></ul> <p>The Governor-General in Council may override the Commissioner's recommendation by appointing a different person to the vacant executive post. </p><p>A chief executive may not be appointed for any longer than five years. Under the State Services Act, the Commissioner negotiates terms and conditions of employment with each Departmental chief executive, subject to the approval of the Prime Minister and the Minister of State Services. The Commissioner may also recommend that a given chief executive be reappointed when the executive's contract expires, though the Government is free to ignore such a recommendation. </p><p>The Commissioner is empowered, with the agreement of the Government, to dismiss a Departmental chief executive, "for just cause or excuse". That is, the Government is by law forbidden from firing any chief executive or instructing a Commissioner to do so, but has the power to retain a chief executive against the Commissioner's advice. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Appointment,_dismissal_and_term_of_office"><span id="Appointment.2C_dismissal_and_term_of_office"></span>Appointment, dismissal and term of office</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Public_Service_Commission_(New_Zealand)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Appointment, dismissal and term of office"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The position of State Services Commissioner is one of the few positions in New Zealand's public service where Ministers are directly involved. </p><p>The appointment and dismissal procedures and the term of office are set forth in the State Sector Act 1988, as amended from time to time. Section 3 of the Act specifies that the Commissioner is to be appointed by the <a href="/wiki/Governor-General_in_Council" class="mw-redirect" title="Governor-General in Council">Governor-General in Council</a> on the recommendation of the <a href="/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_New_Zealand" title="Prime Minister of New Zealand">Prime Minister</a>. Section 13 limits the term of office to five years, though this term may be further reduced in the <a href="/wiki/Order_in_Council" title="Order in Council">Order in Council</a> in which the appointment is made. </p><p>Section 17 of the Act lists a small number of circumstances in which the Commissioner is deemed to have resigned. Otherwise, the Commissioner is well protected. The Governor-General has no power to dismiss the Commissioner. The Governor-General may suspend the Commissioner under Section 16 for misbehaviour or incompetence, but must then explain why to the <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand_House_of_Representatives" title="New Zealand House of Representatives">House of Representatives</a> within seven sitting days; and even then the Commissioner is safe in his position unless the House resolves within three weeks after receiving the Governor-General's explanation to remove him or her from office.
