Effect of death of employer or change in partnership
24 Effect of death of employer or change in partnership
If—
the employer of an apprentice or trainee dies, and
the business in which the apprentice or trainee was employed is carried on by the executors or administrators for the time being of the will or estate of the deceased employer,
the apprenticeship or traineeship is taken not to have been terminated by the death of the employer.
If—
the employers of an apprentice or trainee are partners in a partnership, and
the business in which the apprentice or trainee is employed is carried on after a change in the composition of the partnership,
the apprenticeship or traineeship is taken not to have been terminated by that change.
Unless cancellation of the apprenticeship or traineeship is approved by the Commissioner on the application of those executors, administrators or partners—
the relevant training contract continues to bind them as if they were the employers of the apprentice or trainee, and
while it does so, they are taken to be the employers of the apprentice or trainee for the purposes of this Act.
