Clause 76
Clause 76
Transfer of employees to Agency
(1)
On the transfer date, every transferring IDA employee stops being an employee of the transferor, and is each transferred to the service, and becomes an employee, of the Agency on terms no less favourable than those enjoyed by the employee on the eve of the transfer date.
(2)
A certificate signed by the Minister certifying whether an individual named in the certificate has been transferred to the service of the Agency under subsection (1) is admissible in evidence in any proceedings as proof of the matters stated in the certificate.
(3)
The transfer of an employee of the transferor to the Agency under subsection (1) —
does not interrupt continuity of that employee’s service;
does not constitute a retrenchment or redundancy of that employee’s employment by the transferor; and
does not entitle that employee to any compensation or other payment or benefit merely because he or she stops being employed by the transferor.
(4)
Nothing in this section prevents —
any of the terms and conditions of employment of an individual transferred to the service of the Agency under subsection (1) from being altered by or under any law, award or agreement with effect from any time after the transfer date; and
an individual transferred to the service of the Agency under subsection (1) from resigning from such service any time after the transfer date, in accordance with the terms and conditions of his or her employment then applicable.
(5)
To avoid doubt, section 18A of the Employment Act (Cap. 91) does not apply to the transfer of any employee of the transferor to the service of the Agency under subsection (1).
