Schedule 1 Part 4 clause 45: repealed, on 25 January 2005, by section 200 of the Crown Entities Act 2004 (2004 No 115).
(1) On the commencement day, every person employed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Limited immediately before the commencement of this Act ceases to be an employee of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Limited and becomes an employee of the Orchestra.
(2) The terms and conditions of employment of each employee to whom subsection (1) refers remain the same as the terms and conditions of his or her employment with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Limited immediately before the commencement day, and may be varied in the same manner.
(1) For the purposes of every enactment, law, determination, agreement, or contract relating to the employment of a transferred employee, the transfer of the employee to the Orchestra from the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Limited does not, of itself, break the employment of that person and the period of his or her service with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Limited is to be regarded as a period of service with the Orchestra.
(2) A transferred employee is not entitled to receive payment or other benefit solely on the ground that, as a result of the transfer of the employee under this Act, the person has ceased to be an employee of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Limited.
(1) The terms and conditions on which a transferred employee is employed must be no less favourable to the transferred employee than those applying to the employee immediately before the commencement date.
(2) Subclause (1)—
(a) continues to apply to the terms and conditions of employment of a transferred employee until they are varied by agreement between the transferred employee and the Orchestra; but
(b) does not apply to a transferred employee who, after the transfer, receives any subsequent employment within the Orchestra.
(1) Despite clause 43, a person who, immediately before becoming an employee of the Orchestra, was a contributor to the Government Superannuation Fund under Part 2 or Part 2A of the Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956 is, for the purpose of that Act, to be treated as if he or she were employed in the Government service so long as that person continues to be an employee of the Orchestra.
(2) The Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956 applies to the person in all respects as if the person's service as an employee of the Orchestra were Government service.
(3) Nothing in subclause (1) entitles a person to become a contributor to the Government Superannuation Fund if the person has ceased to be a contributor.
(4) For the purpose of applying the Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956 under subclause (1), controlling authority means the board.

5List of amendments incorporated in this reprint (most recent first)
This is a reprint of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Act 2004. The reprint incorporates all the amendments to the Act as at 25 January 2005, as specified in the list of amendments at the end of these notes.
Relevant provisions of any amending enactments that have yet to come into force or that contain relevant transitional or savings provisions are also included, after the principal enactment, in chronological order.
Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint.
This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the principal enactment and its amendments are contained.
A number of editorial conventions are followed in the preparation of reprints. For example, the enacting words are not included in Acts, and provisions that are repealed or revoked are omitted. For a detailed list of the editorial conventions, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/legislation/reprints.shtml or Part 8 of the Tables of Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations, and Deemed Regulations in Force.
Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted.
A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000. Changes to legislative drafting style have also been made since 1997, and are ongoing. To the extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all legislation reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint.
In outline, the editorial changes made in reprints under the authority of section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 are set out below, and they have been applied, where relevant, in the preparation of this reprint:
•omission of unnecessary referential words (such as “of this section”
and “of this Act”
)
•typeface and type size (Times Roman, generally in 11.5 point)
•layout of provisions, including:
•indentation
•position of section headings (eg, the number and heading now appear above the section)
•format of definitions (eg, the defined term now appears in bold type, without quotation marks)
•format of dates (eg, a date formerly expressed as “the 1st day of January 1999”
is now expressed as “1 January 1999”
)
•position of the date of assent (it now appears on the front page of each Act)
•punctuation (eg, colons are not used after definitions)
•Parts numbered with roman numerals are replaced with arabic numerals, and all cross-references are changed accordingly
•case and appearance of letters and words, including:
•format of headings (eg, headings where each word formerly appeared with an initial capital letter followed by small capital letters are amended so that the heading appears in bold, with only the first word (and any proper nouns) appearing with an initial capital letter)
•small capital letters in section and subsection references are now capital letters
•schedules are renumbered (eg, Schedule 1 replaces First Schedule), and all cross-references are changed accordingly
•running heads (the information that appears at the top of each page)
•format of two-column schedules of consequential amendments, and schedules of repeals (eg, they are rearranged into alphabetical order, rather than chronological).
