In this week’s video we take you through the applicable labour law for transferring contracts of employment in the case of a business sale, purchase or transfer as a going concern – specifically Section 197 of the Labour Relations Act.
I have worked with many clients who sell, buy or transfer businesses and have seen the common misunderstandings and mistakes. In the video, I detail these so that you can easily avoid them.
I go through the clauses of Section 197, discuss dismissal, automatically unfair dismissal, organisational rights and other employment relations factors as they specific relate to a transfer of contracts of employment.
