Changes to Terms and Conditions

[Hardtofindafreename]

If a company is taken over and I get a letter stating there would be " No change in terms and conditions" would the new company be justified in trying to say that annual pay reviews, which were regular in the old company, aren't part of Terms & Conditions? What should be covered by T&C?

What does your employment agreement say?

If it says you'll have a yearly review then the new company should continue.

Usually contracts say you will not be entitled to a bonus etc.

Contract is over 30 yrs old but no, it doesn't say that. It has been precedent though

I assume it was a TUPE transfer which are notoriously complex. Please speak to ACAS as you will need expert advice.

WRT annual pay reviews, all this means is they review pay annually there is no promise of a pay rise as a result of the review.

A TUPE arrangement means you cannot be on worse terms. A man employment contract can be arrived at by “custom and practice”. ACAS has info on their web site about TUPE agreements and what must be in a contract of employment.. However if you look at what must be in the written terms of a contract of employment, it is not a legal requirement to have a pay review. However as you have had it, I would say it would worsen your contract terms if it was dropped. However it won’t be written down anywhere as you have discovered. So defend your position by arguing custom and practice and implied contract terms (unwritten and presumed agreed) which should be maintained so you are not worse off.

A man!!! An employment contract…..

Thank you @TizerorFizz, very helpful.... especially the "man " contract 🤣🤣
