### sec.286 Prospective employees taken to have workplace rights
A prospective employee is taken to have the workplace rights the person would have if the person were employed in the prospective employment by the prospective employer.
Despite section 284 (1) (a) , a prospective employer does not contravene section 285 (1) if the prospective employer refuses to employ a prospective employee because the prospective employee would be entitled to the benefit of a bargaining instrument that the prospective employer is bound by under section 222 because of the transfer of the whole or part of a business to the prospective employer from another employer.
