Sale or Transfer of Business ChangesSince the Employment Relations Amendment (2014) Act (effective from 6 March 2015) introduced new requirements in respect of liability for service-related entitlements (e.g. sick leave and annual leave) of transferring employees. These costs must now be apportioned between the current and new employer. If the employers cannot reach an agreement then the costs are apportioned as follows: - The current employer is liable for costs they would have to pay if the employee had ceased employment before the restructuring occurred (e.g. annual leave).
- The new employer assumes responsibility for the costs of any service-related entitlements not payable on termination (e.g. sick leave or bereavement leave).
