Title: Taking on a new contract (rules)
Post by: Pristine Clean on February 04, 2008, 10:40:02 am

Hi,

I have been doing some cold calling. Trying to get more business. I telephoned one company and they informed me that there would be no point in changing cleaning companies. I asked why as I have my own cleaning staff, they inofrmed me that I would need to keep on the staff that do the cleaning at that site. So they said no point in changing as same cleaners.

Are there any rules in where I have to employ the cleaners that are already on that or a site?


Does any one know about this or is it absolute rubbish....  ::)

thanks


Dave

The legislation you are looking is TUPE ( transfer of undertakings)
and no it is not a load of rubbish, a pain, yes.
