Approval of the employment of a retiree pursuant to section 211 of the Retirement and Social Security Law must be secured prior to the effective date of that employment; provided, however, the commission may under the following exceptional circumstances grant such approval retroactively where:

(1)it is demonstrated that there was an intent on the part of the employing agency to hire the retiree pursuant to section 211 of the Retirement and Social Security Law;
(2)the retiree understood that he was being employed pursuant to that section; and
(3)only through an error of commission or omission approval was not effectuated.

The burden to demonstrate such exception circumstances is upon the employing agency.
