s 84 Transfer of employees to Authority
84.—(1) On the transfer date —(a) every MDA employee stops being an employee of the Media Development Authority of Singapore; and (b) every transferring IDA employee stops being an employee of the Info‑communications Development Authority of Singapore, and is each transferred to the service, and becomes an employee, of the Authority on terms no less favourable than those enjoyed by the employee on the eve of the transfer date. (2) A certificate signed by the Minister certifying whether an individual named in the certificate has been transferred to the service of the Authority under subsection (1) is admissible in evidence in any proceedings as proof of the matters stated in the certificate. (3) The transfer of an employee of a transferor to the Authority under subsection (1) —(a) does not interrupt continuity of that employee’s service; (b) does not constitute a retrenchment or redundancy of that employee’s employment by the transferor; and (c) does not entitle that employee to any compensation or other payment or benefit merely because he or she stops being employed by the transferor. (4) Nothing in this section prevents —(a) any of the terms and conditions of employment of an individual transferred to the service of the Authority under subsection (1) from being altered by or under any law, award or agreement with effect from any time after the transfer date; and (b) an individual transferred to the service of the Authority under subsection (1) from resigning from such service any time after the transfer date, in accordance with the terms and conditions of his or her employment then applicable. (5) To avoid doubt, section 18A of the Employment Act 1968 does not apply to the transfer of any employee of a transferor to the service of the Authority under subsection (1).
