Service with one employer (first or old employer) will be counted as service with another employer (second or new employer) if two conditions are met:

The word control is defined in s.50AA of the Corporations Act. One entity controls another when the first entity can make decisions that determine the financial and operating policies of the other entity.
Service with an employer (first or old employer) must be treated as service with another employer (second or new employer) who is not an affiliate of the first employer, if in connection with the transfer of business from the employee employee From the first boss to the second boss. The following flow chart will help you determine if an employee is a transferred employee.
The employee worked for the old employer in a cafe. The business was bought by a new owner. The employee worked 3 shifts for the new employer and was doing the same job before being fired.
It was held that there was a transfer of work, because there was a transfer of business between the old employer and the new employer. There was a relationship between the old employer and the new employer because the transfer of business involved the transfer of assets. Also, since the new employer has not notified the employee in writing that his previous service will not be recognized, the employee’s service with the old employer is treated as service with the new employer.
What Is A Transfer Of Employment?
The employee worked for the old employer, who in turn provided work to the new employer. After two years, the new employer stopped outsourcing the work to the old employer. The old employer terminated the employee’s employment, and he was hired by the new employer, but was terminated after about 3 weeks.
The employee was found to be a transferred employee in connection with the transfer of business. There was a relationship between the old employer and the new employer because the new employer had stopped outsourcing work to the old employer. The employee has not been informed in writing by the new employer that previous service with the old employer does not count as service with the new employer, and therefore counted.

The employee worked as a security guard for the former employer, providing site security under the contract. The bidding process resulted in the award of the contract to the new employer. The employee was offered a job with the new employer, but was fired the following month. It was held that there is no relationship between the owners, and therefore there is no transfer of the business. Thus, service with the old employer is not counted as service with the new employer.

The employee was hired by the old employer to work in a pub. The former landlord ran the pub on a lease with the owners. The former owner gave up the lease, and the owners leased it to the new owner. The new employer hired the employee to perform the same duties, then fired him. On appeal it was found that there was no relationship between the old employer and the new employer as there was no evidence of transfer of assets pursuant to any agreement between the employers.
The employee had worked as a security guard for a contractor (the previous contractor) at the Ballarat University Federation for approximately eight years. A new contractor has succeeded in the bid for the provision of security services and offers the employee a job. After working for about three months, the new contract advised the employee that he had decided not to continue his work beyond the trial period.
The employee filed a claim for unfair dismissal. The new contract objected on the basis that the employee’s continuous service at the time of termination was less than the minimum period prescribed by the Fair Work Act.

The Commission found that the previous contract and the new contract were not related entities. There was also no transfer of business as there was no connection between the two employers. As a result, the employee’s services with the previous employer could not be taken into account. Since his period of service with the new contract was about three months, the employee was not protected against unfair dismissal. The application was rejected.

The employer was one of 3 different businesses owned by separate unit trusts with separate trust companies. Each trust company had a single director and each trust had a single financial manager, both employed by the same accounting firm. It was held that they were related entities. Employees of related entities are therefore counted to determine if an employer is a small business.

An employer was required not to be associated with other entities to which it provided funds under the contract for the performance of project work, since the relationship was not such as to give the employer control over the other entities. Therefore, employees of other entities are not counted for the purpose of determining whether an employer is a small business. When an employer responds to a claim of unfair dismissal, they can object. If the objection is based on “jurisdiction,” we may have a special hearing.
An employer may object to an application if it believes that the Commission does not have jurisdiction to deal with it. This is a jurisprudential objection.
If the objection is to a late request (“out of time”), the hearing takes place before the voluntary settlement.
Other objections are usually heard after conciliation (if both parties agree to participate). If the parties decide not to participate in the conciliation, the case continues to the main hearing.

The Commission member handles most of the legal objections during the main hearing. Sometimes the objections are heard separately:
An employer may request a hearing before conciliation. If this happens, we will send the details of the hearing to the employee and the employer. We also tell them what evidence they need to present to us before the hearing.
The employer may need to explain why today. Commission members may ask for evidence to prove their point.
If the member agrees that the objection is valid, they reject the application. The employee may choose to appeal the decision. More than $40 million in unpaid wages was returned to Australian workers last financial year, the largest recovery in history.
