Hi All,
One of our employees recently returned from a short secondment in our Australian office and as things sometimes go, he would now like to relocate there permanently. The company is open to that suggestion and would be keen on supporting the employee.
As well as needing appropriate advice re immigration/visa, for which we'd need to seek appropriate advice, from an employment law perspective and because this is a permanent move, I would like to suggest that this employee also transfers his employment to our Australian company and signs a new contract. Can we do that? In that case, would the employee be entitled to retain their continuous service or any other benefits as a UK employee?
