             (1)  If an employer gives a notice under section 603A to a transferring employee, the employer must lodge a copy of the notice with the Workplace Authority Director within the period specified in subsection (2). The copy must be lodged in accordance with subsection (3).

Note 1:       This is a civil remedy provision, see section 605.

Note 2:       Sections 137.1 and 137.2 of the Criminal Code create offences for providing false or misleading information or documents.

             (2)  The notice must be lodged within 14 days after the day specified in paragraph (a) or (b):

                     (a)  if the employer gives a notice to an employee in respect of a redundancy provision that was included in an ITEA--the day on which that notice is given; or

                     (b)  if the employer gives one or more notices to one or more employees in respect of a redundancy provision that was included in a collective agreement--the earliest day on which a notice was given.

Lodgment with Workplace Authority Director

             (3)  A notice is lodged with the Workplace Authority Director in accordance with this subsection only if it is actually received by the Workplace Authority Director.
