Is annual leave payable on a transfer of employment?
The ‘transfer of employment’ provisions under the Fair Work Act 2009 essentially apply when an employee moves from one employer (the old employer) to another employer (the new employer) within three months, and there is a transfer of business involved (through a transfer of assets, outsourcing, insourcing), or the two employers are associated entities.
If these conditions are satisfied, the period of service with the old employer will generally count as service with the new employer for the purposes of entitlements under the Fair Work Act 2009. If this applies, an employee is not entitled to be paid for a period of untaken annual leave under the NES in relation to termination of their employment with the old employer.
However, there are exceptions to this general principle. A new employer that is not an associated entity of the old employer has the option to not recognise a transferring employee’s previous service for the purposes of NES entitlements to annual leave. If the new employer does not recognise an employee’s service in relation to annual leave, the old employer will be required to pay out the employee’s untaken annual leave.
For more information on the transfer of business provisions and the impact on employee entitlements, please see the Fair Work Ombudsman Fact Sheet – Transfer of Business.
