69OE: Updating disclosure of employee transfer costs information

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the person who gave the original information must immediately tell the person they gave it to what information is out of date and what the new, correct information is.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

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 the information that is out of date; and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

                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.
