148K Transfer of employees from Commission to Office (1) The Commission and the Office of Human Rights Proceedings may, after consulting the employee concerned, agree to the transfer of an employee from the Commission to the Office of Human Rights Proceedings on the same terms and conditions that applied to the employee immediately before the date of transfer. (2) For the purposes of every enactment, law, contract, and agreement relating to the employment of the employee,— (a) the contract of employment of that employee is taken to have been unbroken; and (b) the employee's period of service with the Commission, and every other period of service of that employee that is recognised by the Commission as continuous service, is taken to have been a period of service with the Office of Human Rights Proceedings. (3) An employee of the Commission who is transferred to the Office of Human Rights Proceedings under subsection (1) is not entitled to any compensation just because— (a) the position held by the employee with the Commission has ceased to exist; or (b) the person has ceased (as a result of the transfer) to be an employee of the Commission.
