The email explicitly stated that secondment did not create any employment relationship with the new company and did not guarantee continued employment following the secondment period.<\/p>\n
However, the worker never signed the proposed secondment agreement as she wanted to obtain legal advice first. Meanwhile, the new owner installed payment terminals at the clinic on 1 February, though revenue remained quarantined for the original owner, and keys to the premises were handed over that same day.<\/p>\n
Worker attends despite unclear employment status<\/p>\n
On Monday, 3 February 2025, the worker attended and performed her usual duties from normal hours until 5:30 PM, despite the uncertainty surrounding her employment status.<\/p>\n
The new owner’s evidence indicated he had not scheduled her to work and that rosters were still being managed by the original employer using their legacy system.<\/p>\n
During the afternoon, the new owner visited the clinic for the first time, briefly meeting the worker with a handshake and a brief greeting lasting approximately 20 seconds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The email explicitly stated that secondment did not create any employment relationship with the new company and did…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[64,63,99,78128,78129,78130,180],"class_list":["post-109157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jobs","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business","tag-franchise-sale-work-australia-fwc","tag-fwc-australia-business-sale","tag-fwc-australia-employment-business-transfer","tag-jobs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
