The First Nations School Association ("FNSA") has prepared a "Transfer of Jurisdiction Handbook on Employment Issues" (September 11, 2008). As stated in the introduction, the Handbook:

...is aimed mainly at Participating First Nations that will take jurisdiction over education pursuant to the First Nations Jurisdiction over Education in British Columbia Act (Canada), the First Nations Education Act (BC), and various jurisdiction agreements. The purpose is to identify steps that schools and Participating First Nations can take to prepare for the transfer of jurisdiction in connection with employment issues.

The Handbook has three parts:

• Part One deals with general principles relating to employment issues in the case of a transfer of employment.
• Part Two is a checklist of information to gather and steps to take in preparing for a transfer.
• Part Three contains a summary of changes to the law since the December 2006 version of the FNSA Handbook.
