Transferring secondments and employees to Board
(1)
On the transfer date, every transferring employee —
stops being an employee of the transferor; and
is each transferred to the service, and becomes an employee, of the Board on terms no less favourable than those enjoyed by the employee on the eve of the transfer date.
(2)
The transfer of a transferring employee to the Board —
does not interrupt continuity of service;
does not constitute a retrenchment or redundancy; and
does not entitle any employee so transferred to any payment or other benefit merely because he or she stops being employed by the transferor.
(3)
A certificate purporting to be signed by the Minister certifying that an individual named in the certificate was, with effect from the transfer date, employed by virtue of this section by the Board, is admissible in evidence in any proceedings as evidence of the matters stated in it.

any of the terms and conditions of employment of an individual transferred under this section from being altered by or under any law, award or agreement with effect from any time after the transfer date; and
an individual transferred under this section from resigning from the Board at any time after the transfer date, in accordance with the terms and conditions of his or her employment then applicable.
