Queensland Industry Participation Policy Act 2011

This section applies to each person who was an employee of Building Queensland immediately before the commencement, other than the chief executive officer.

On the commencement—

the person becomes a public service employee of the department; and

the person stops being an employee of Building Queensland; and

Building Queensland’s liability for recreation, sick or long service leave accrued but not taken by the person before the commencement is transferred to the State held in the department; and

Building Queensland’s records, to the extent they relate to the person’s employment, become records of the State held in the department.

Without limiting subsection (2)(a), if the person is employed under a contract of employment, the person’s contract of employment with Building Queensland is taken to be a contract of employment between the person and the chief executive and applies with any necessary changes to give effect to the contract.

The change under subsection (2) has effect despite any contract, instrument or other law and does not—

reduce the person’s total remuneration; or

prejudice the person’s existing or accruing rights to superannuation or recreation, sick, long service or other leave; or

interrupt the person’s continuity of service, except that the person is not entitled to claim the benefit of a right or entitlement more than once in relation to the same period of service; or

constitute a termination of employment by Building Queensland, retrenchment or redundancy; or

entitle the person to a payment or other benefit merely because the person is no longer employed by Building Queensland; or

require a payment to be made in relation to the person’s accrued rights to recreation, sick, long service or other leave irrespective of any arrangement between Building Queensland and the person; or

terminate or otherwise end a contract.
