69OD: Provision of employee transfer costs information by other persons
or “Others must share information about employee moving costs when asked”
You could also call this:

“When information about employee transfer costs changes, the person who gave it must tell everyone the new details right away.”

If someone has given information about employee transfer costs as required by section 69OC or 69OD, they need to update it if things change. This applies when the information they provided is no longer correct because of changes in what employees are entitled to or in their work situation.

When this happens, the person who gave the original information must immediately tell the person they gave it to what information is out of date and what the new, correct information is.

Sometimes, the person who gets the updated information isn’t the one who first asked for it under section 69OC. If that’s the case, they must pass the new information on right away to the person who got the original request. Then, that person must immediately give the updated information to whoever asked for it in the first place.

You don’t have to provide updated information if, at the time things changed, no one could have asked for that information under section 69OC.

  1. This section applies if—

  2. employee transfer costs information has been provided under section 69OC or 69OD; and
    1. after the provision of the information, there is a change in the employment-related entitlements or circumstances that the information relates to; and
      1. the change makes the information provided out of date.

        1. The person who provided the employee transfer costs information must, immediately after the change in the employment-related entitlements or circumstances, provide to the person who was originally provided with the information details specifying—

        2. the information that is out of date; and
          1. what the up-to-date information is.

            1. If the person who is provided with the up-to-date employee transfer costs information is not the person who made the request for the original information under section 69OC,—

            2. the person must, immediately after receiving the up-to-date information, provide it to the person who received the request for the original information; and
              1. that person must, immediately after receiving the up-to-date information, provide it to the person who made the request for the original information.

                1. A person is not required to provide up-to-date information if, at the time of the change in the employment-related entitlements or circumstances, a request could not have been made for the information under section 69OC.
