(a): the person has given notice in writing to the Agency Head, stating that the person intends to resume duties as an APS employee on the first working day after the end of the transitional period; or
(b): the person has been granted leave for a period that consists of, or includes, the first working day after the end of the transitional period.

the person is taken to have resigned as an APS employee at the end of that first working day.

(5): If a person would have ceased to be an officer under the old Act at a particular time because of section 87JA or 87JB of the old Act (if the old Act had not been repealed), then the person is taken to have resigned as an APS employee at that time.
(6): If the transitional period for a first-tier person ends at the end of the relevant period (as defined in subsection 87D(5) of the old Act), then the person becomes a second-tier person at the end of that relevant period.
