Common use of Transfer of Entitlement Clause in Contracts

Transfer of Entitlement. (a) Where a Doctor has a pro-rata long service leave entitlement and/or a normal entitlement on termination of employment and they move to the Department, any Hospital, Benevolent Home, Community Health Centre, Society or Association registered under the Health Services Act within two months, they may elect to transfer the entitlements rather than have them paid out. (b) A Doctor may, in writing, request that the Hospital defer payment in respect of any pro-rata leave entitlements beyond two months. Unless this notice is given, the leave entitlement must be paid out when six months is exceeded. When the Doctor finally gives notice in writing that they are employed by the Department, any Hospital, Benevolent Home, Community Health Centre, Society or Association that is registered under the Health Services Act, then the Hospital is no longer required to make payment to the Doctor.
