to occupy an executive office as provided in subsection (11):
 (a) the period of the absence shall be reckoned as part of his or her period of service for the purpose of determining whether a provision of this Act that applies only to and in relation to employees whose periods of service are at least 1 year or 10 years, as the case may be, applies to and in relation to him or her; and
 (b) the person shall be deemed not to have been employed in that service during the period of absence for any other purpose.
 (5) Where a continuous period of employment of a person in a qualifying service has commenced after, but not more than 12 months after, the expiration of a continuous period of previous employment of the person in a qualifying service, those periods of employment shall, for the purposes of this Act, be deemed to be continuous with one another.
 (6) For the purposes of subsection (5), where a person, having ceased to be employed in a qualifying service, has undertaken a course of full‑time training:
 (a) under a scheme established by the Commonwealth for the training of persons who have served in the Defence Force; or
 (b) under a prescribed training scheme;
before resuming employment in a qualifying service, the resumption of his or her employment in a qualifying service shall be deemed to have occurred not more than 12 months after he or she ceased to be so employed if the period between his or her ceasing to be so employed and the resumption of that employment, less the period of his or her course of full‑time training under that scheme, does not exceed 12 months.

 (a) the termination of his or her employment at the expiration of that period of previous employment was due to ill‑health; and
 (b) the commencement of that first‑mentioned period of employment occurred not more than 12 months after his or her health became so restored as to enable him or her to perform duties of a kind that were suitable to be performed by him or her having regard to the duties performed by him or her immediately before the expiration of that period of previous employment.
