TUPE guarantees are available to prevent you from benefiting from less favourable terms of employment during the transfer. This means that not only will your existing business conditions be transferred to the new employer on the first working day, but you should not lose your labour rights either. If you find that there has been or will be a “substantial change” to less favourable working conditions as a result of the transfer, you have the right to resign and demand wrongful dismissal. The agreement between the two companies contained a clause stating that if the replacement of the manager is not carried out within three months, the agreement could be renewed as long as all parties agree and AFC has sufficient staff. If the new employer refuses to comply with the terms of your contract, this is a violation of your employment contract. When a transfer protected by TUPE is made, the new employer assumes almost all the rights and obligations of your employment contract, including: If your employer wishes to change your terms of employment, this is allowed as long as you agree. For example, your employer may increase your leave to be a standard amount for all employees across the company. Employees are often considered the most valuable asset of an organization. However, unlike other assets, workers` personal services cannot simply be assigned to a new employer without the agreement of the worker and the new employer. Therefore, a business transfer that results in a change in the legal personality of the employer constitutes an effective termination of the employment relationship in the form of constructive dismissal. Companies should actively manage the way staff transfer is done, in order to reduce their liability. There are several options that allow a company to reduce this risk and ensure a smooth transfer for its employees, including: Remember that an employee must consent to the transfer, either explicitly or implicitly. (If a worker simply works for Employer B, his actions involve consent to the transfer.) The rights of the company (also known as occupational pensions) acquired up to the date of a transfer are protected in the event of transfer or assumption.
