Clause 16

Upon the coming into operation of this Part, every person employed by the Lembaga or the Industrial Training Board immediately before the date of the coming into operation of this Part shall be transferred to the service of the Board at the same rate of pay and, as near as may be, on the same conditions of service as those on which he was employed by the Lembaga or the Industrial Training Board, as the case may be, immediately prior to that date.

Until such time as schemes and terms and conditions of service are drawn up by the Board, the regulations relating to salaries, and terms and conditions of service in the Lembaga or the Industrial Training Board shall continue to apply to every person employed by the Lembaga or the Industrial Training Board, as the case may be, who has been transferred to the service of the Board under subsection (1).

Where any person who is transferred to the service of the Board under subsection (1) is a contributor under the Widows’ and Orphans’ Pension Act (Cap. 58), he shall for the purposes of that Act continue to make contributions under that Act as if he had not been transferred to the service of the Board and for the purposes of that Act his service with the Board shall be deemed to be service with the Government; and the Board shall have the right to make deductions from the salary of such person to be paid as contributions under that Act.

Where any person who is transferred to the service of the Board under subsection (1) was an employee of the Government transferred to the service of the Industrial Training Board under the provisions of the Industrial Training Board Act, 1972 (Act 36 of 1972), or to the service of the Lembaga with his superannuation benefits in respect of that employment preserved, the Government shall be liable to pay to the Board such portion of any gratuity, pension or allowance payable to such person on his retirement, as the same shall bear to the proportion which the aggregate amount of his pensionable emoluments during his service with the Government bears to the aggregate amount of his pensionable emoluments during his service under the Government, the Industrial Training Board or the Lembaga, and the Board.
