29 Maternity leave starting before transfer time

(1) This section applies in relation to a transferring employee if: (a) immediately before the transfer time, the employee was a female employee of a statutory authority who was on leave granted under the Maternity Leave Act; and (b) the employee would have been entitled to have remained on that leave after the transfer time if the employee had continued to be an employee of the statutory authority. (2) After the transfer time, the Maternity Leave Act continues to apply to the employee in relation to the confinement in respect of which the leave was granted as if the industry services body were a prescribed authority for the purposes of that Act.
