The Commission should not make the designation if the employee can travel more economically by other means without substantial impairment to the efficiency of service. 2. If the number of kilometres driven by the employee in connection with employment is 3218.6 km or less per year, the designation of the employee normally should not be granted. 3.

If the number of kilometres driven by the employee in connection with employment is more than 3218.6 km per year but less than 16 000 km per year, the decision to designate the employee must be based on criteria established by the applicable department and the department’s recommendation that using a privately-owned motor vehicle is the most efficient manner of providing transportation to fulfil the job function, particularly as it relates to providing services to the public. 4.

If the number of kilometres driven by the employee in connection with employment is 16 000 km or more per year, the designation of the employee normally should be granted on the recommendation of the Deputy Minister of the applicable department to the Commission. 5.

A recommendation for designation of an employee by a department or the Deputy Minister of a department should take into consideration the nature of the job function performed by the employee and any requirements for transportation that could be met by other means of transportation, such as a privately- owned vehicle, a rental vehicle, public transportation, etc.

N.S. Reg. 69/2006 - 70/2006 Royal Gazette

Part II - Regulations Vol. 30, No. 10 258 © NS Registry of Regulations. Web version. 6. Whether an employee has control over the dema nd for transportation and whether the demand for transportation can and does occur at any time, as in areas of personal service, protection, etc. should be considered when determining whether to designate the employee. 7. Whether an employee must have transportation ava ilable, as well as how often transportation is needed should be considered when determining whether to designate the employee. N.S.
