(2) A Transport Service senior executive or senior manager whose employment is terminated under this section is entitled to such compensation (if any) as may be provided in the contract of employment of the executive or manager (and to no other compensation or entitlement for the termination of employment other than superannuation entitlements).

(3) A Transport Service senior executive or senior manager whose employment is so terminated is not to be employed in the public sector during the period specified in the contract of employment to which any such compensation relates unless arrangements have been made for a refund of the proportionate amount of the compensation.

Those provisions do not apply to a termination of employment under this section.

(6) For the purposes of this section,
"employment" of a former executive or manager in the public sector and
"public sector" have the same meanings as in section 41 of the Government Sector Employment Act 2013 .
