Staff transfer schemes E+W

1 (1) The Secretary of State may make a scheme (a “staff transfer scheme”) providing— E+W

(a) for a designated employee of the TDA to become a member of staff of the Secretary of State (and accordingly to become employed in the civil service of the state);

(b) so far as may be consistent with employment in the civil service of the state, for the terms and conditions of the employee's employment with the TDA to have effect as if they were the conditions of service as a member of the Secretary of State's staff;

(c) for the transfer to the Secretary of State of the rights, powers, duties and liabilities of the TDA under or in connection with the employee's contract of employment;

(d) for anything done (or having effect as if done) before that transfer by or in relation to the TDA in respect of such a contract or the employee to be treated as having been done by or in relation to the Secretary of State.

(2) A staff transfer scheme may provide for a period before the employee became a member of the Secretary of State's staff to count as a period during which the employee was a member of the Secretary of State's staff (and for the operation of the scheme not to be treated as having interrupted the continuity of that period).

(3) A staff transfer scheme may provide for the employee not to become a member of the Secretary of State's staff if the employee gives notice objecting to the operation of the scheme in relation to the employee.

(4) A staff transfer scheme may provide for a person who would be treated (by an enactment or otherwise) as being dismissed by the operation of the scheme not to be so treated.

(5) A staff transfer scheme may provide for an employee of the TDA to become a member of the Secretary of State's staff despite any provision, of whatever nature, which would otherwise prevent the person from being employed in the civil service of the state.
