Dear Reader,
As you are no doubt already aware, 1 July 2009 marks the commencement of the Fair Work Act. One area of workplace law that will be affected significantly by the new Act is transfer of business (formerly transmission of business under the Workplace Relations Act).
What is a transfer of business?
Transfer of business provisions may apply when an employer (the new employer) takes over part or all of the business of another employer (the old employer). The transfer of business provisions may mean that the new employer becomes bound by the old employer’s workplace agreements.
