### sec.738A Transfer of transferable employees
On the transfer day for a declared channel scheme—
a transferable employee for the declared channel scheme becomes an employee of the irrigation entity for the scheme; and
a transferable employee for the declared channel scheme ceases to be an employee of SunWater; and
the records of SunWater, to the extent they relate to the employment of transferable employees for the declared channel scheme, become records of the irrigation entity for the scheme.
However, if an employee of SunWater becomes a transferable employee because of a register correction for a declared channel scheme, subsection (1) applies to the employee as if the reference in the subsection to the transfer day for the scheme were a reference to the day after the register correction happens.
Also, if a person ceases to be a transferable employee because of a register correction for a declared channel scheme, the person is taken never to have been—
a transferable employee for the declared channel scheme; or
transferred to the irrigation entity for the declared channel scheme.
In this section—
register correction means a change to the employee register for a declared channel scheme under section 737 (3) to correct an omission or error.
