payments if comparable employment offered or not applied for
(1) A person whose employment in a government sector agency ceases as a result
of the transfer to a non-government sector body of any of the services
provided by the agency is not entitled to any severance or redundancy payment
for that cessation of employment if-- (a) the person is offered employment by

such comparable employment that has been notified to the person as being
available.

to be performed by the person under the new employment is similar to the work
performed by the person under the former employment, and

industrial instrument or agreement (however described) applying to the
new employment are substantially similar to, and (when considered on an
overall basis) no less favourable than, the terms of any
government sector industrial instrument that applied to the former employment,

person's journey to work.

(c) the transfer was not completed
before the commencement of this subclause.
