Transmitted award

             (1)  This section applies if subsection 595(1) applies to an award (the transmitted award ).

Collective agreement

             (3)  Despite section 349, the transmitted award ceases to be in operation in relation to a transferring employee's employment with the new employer if a collective agreement comes into operation in relation to the transferring employee's employment with the new employer after the time of transmission.
