13.1.2 Significance of being a 'Former Employee'

The significance of the Section 123 definition is that the current incapacity periods of 'former employees' are to be paid under Sections 131 to 137 of the SRCA. These are different transitional provisions to other old-Act clients and they specify a scheme of payment different to either that of the 1971 Act or of the SRCA.

Note: Given the very narrow defined meaning of 'former employee', delegates should avoid using this term to describe ordinary ADF dischargees.
