^I69114 Schemes for the transfer of staff.¶

1 This section and the next apply to a scheme made under section 38^F238... or 79(3) for transferring eligible employees.

2 Subject to those provisions, such a scheme may apply to all, or any description of, employees or to any individual employee.

3 Such a scheme may be made by the appropriate Minister, and a recommendation may be made to Her Majesty in Council to make an Order containing such a scheme, only if any prescribed requirements about consultation have been complied with in relation to each of the employees to be transferred under the scheme.

^I70115 Effect of schemes.¶

1 The contract of employment of an employee transferred under the scheme—

a is not terminated by the transfer; and

b has effect from the date of transfer as if originally made between the employee and the transferee.

2 Where an employee is transferred under the scheme—

a all the rights, powers, duties and liabilities of the old employer under or in connection with the contract of employment are by virtue of this subsection transferred to the transferee on the date of transfer; and

b anything done before that date by or in relation to the old employer in respect of that contract or the employee is to be treated from that date as having been done by or in relation to the transferee.

This subsection does not prejudice the generality of subsection (1).

3 Subsections (1) and (2) do not transfer an employee’s contract of employment, or the rights, powers, duties and liabilities under or in connection with it, if he informs the old employer or the transferee that he objects to the transfer.

4 Where an employee objects as mentioned in subsection (3), his contract of employment with the old employer is terminated immediately before the date of transfer; but he is not to be treated, for any purpose, as having been dismissed by that employer.

5 This section does not prejudice any right of an employee to terminate his contract of employment if a substantial change is made to his detriment in his working conditions.

But no such right arises by reason only that, by virtue of this section, the identity of his employer changes unless the employee shows that, in all the circumstances, the change is a significant change and is to his detriment.

6 In this section—

“date of transfer” means the date of transfer determined under the scheme in relation to the employee;
“transferee” means the new employer to whom the employee is or would be transferred under the scheme;

and expressions used in this section and in the provision under which the scheme is made have the same meaning as in that provision.

Schedule 4 (which makes minor amendments and amendments consequential on the provisions of this Act) shall have effect.

^I72117 Transitional provisions, savings and repeals.¶

1 Schedule 5 (which makes transitional and saving provision) shall have effect; but nothing in that Schedule shall be taken to prejudice the operation of sections 16 and 17 of the ^M24Interpretation Act 1978 (which relate to the effect of repeals).

2 The enactments mentioned in Schedule 6 to this Act are repealed to the extent specified in that Schedule.

a the same provision for all cases in relation to which the power is exercised, or different provision for different cases or different classes of case, or different provision as respects the same case or class of case for different purposes;

b any such provision either unconditionally or subject to any specified condition.

7 The power may be exercised so as to make—

a any supplementary, incidental or consequential provision,

b any transitory, transitional or saving provision,

which the person exercising the power considers necessary or expedient.

2 Subsections (1) and (5) to (7) of section 118 apply to the exercise of that power as they apply to the exercise of a power conferred on the Welsh Ministers by or by virtue of that Act.

3 A statutory instrument containing regulations made in the exercise of that power is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the Assembly.

119 Supplementary and consequential provision etc.¶

1 The appropriate Minister may by order make—

b any transitory, transitional or saving provision,

which he considers necessary or expedient for the purposes of, in consequence of or for giving full effect to any provision of this Act.
