provided that, when any such employee has held a position in the Niue Public Service for a continuous period of 6 years, he may, at any time after the expiration of that period while he still holds a position in that service, or, if he is transferred to or returns to employment in the New Zealand Government Service, within 1 year after the termination of service in Niue, elect to contribute on the salary received by him in respect of his employment in the Niue Public Service (exclusive of any special allowance received by him in respect of his residence in Niue) with effect from the date of his appointment in the last-mentioned service.
