(2) A person employed by a regional board who is a member of the regional board's transferred staff shall not, while in the service of the regional board, receive less remuneration or be subject to less beneficial conditions of service than the remuneration to which he was entitled and the conditions of service to which he was subject, immediately before being transferred by virtue of this section, in the service from which he was so transferred. | ||
(3) A member of a regional board's staff who, having been in the employment of the Central Board transfers (whether in pursuance of a requirement under section 29 (3) of this Act or otherwise) from the service of the Central Board to the service of a regional board and who immediately before the said transfer was a member of the Central Board's transferred staff shall not, while in the service of the regional board, receive less remuneration or be subject to less beneficial conditions of service than the remuneration to which he was entitled and the conditions of service to which he was subject in the service of the Central Board immediately before his transfer. | ||
(4) (a) A regional board may, subject to subsection (2) of this section and following consultation with any recognised staff associations or trade unions concerned, redistribute or rearrange the duties to be performed by members of the board's transferred staff or persons to whom subsection (3) of this section applies who are employed in a particular grade or class of employment and every such member or person shall be bound to perform the duties allocated to him in any such redistribution or rearrangement. | ||
(b) A redistribution or rearrangement referred to in paragraph (a) of this subsection shall not be taken to be removal from or abolition of office for the purpose of any scheme or enactment relating to superannuation or compensation for loss of office. | ||
(c) Until such time as a staff scheme applicable to a particular member of a regional board's transferred staff and approved of by the Minister under section 32 of this Act comes into operation, the conditions of service, restrictions, requirements and obligations to which the member was subject immediately before his transfer to the service of the regional board shall continue to apply to him and may be exercised or imposed by the regional board or its chief officer, as may be appropriate, while he is in the service of the regional board. |
