Hypothetical example: a hardwood sawmill and kiln-drying company near Roxton Pond wants to move its regional operations executive into a new United States entity, and her record over the past three years reads impressively — except that eight of those months were a secondment during which a contract log-procurement company carried her on its own payroll. The transfer category counts one continuous year of qualifying employment with the qualifying organization within the three years before the petition, and a year spent partly on somebody else’s payroll is not automatically that year. So the chronology comes first, before the organisation chart and long before any narrative about leadership. Lay the last three years out month by month, mark who legally employed her in each of them, and mark separately any period she spent working inside the United States. Only when that line is honest is there any point discussing whether her duties are primarily managerial or executive. A chronology that has to be argued for is a chronology that will be tested, and payroll registers test it faster than anybody’s memory.
