69OK: Affected employee may choose whether to transfer to new employer
or “You can decide if you want to work for the new company or not when your job changes.”
You could also call this:

“The government checks if the rules about keeping your job when work changes are working well after 3 years.”

This section of the law used to say that the government had to look at how well this part of the Employment Relations Act was working after it had been in place for 3 years. However, on 6 March 2015, this rule was removed from the law. It no longer applies, so you don’t need to worry about it anymore.
