Provided that for the purpose of ascertaining and calculating the right to pension or superannuation benefits, service or employment with the transferor shall be taken into account as if it were service or employment with the transferee but the transfer of service or employment from the transferor to the transferee shall not, of itself, give rise to any claim to pension or superannuation benefits.
