Tribunal watch: TUPE transfer leads to pay cut for care workers

by Stephen Simpson 13 Oct 2014
by Stephen Simpson 13 Oct 2014

The TUPE transfer of care staff from the NHS to Prospect Housing and Support Services resulted in unlawful variations to their terms and conditions of employment, including substantial pay cuts, an employment tribunal has held.

The employment tribunal found that their new employer was not entitled to make the variations to their contracts of employment following the TUPE transfer, simply to remain competitive and tackle funding reductions. Stephen Simpson rounds up this case and other employment tribunal claims reported in the previous week.

TUPE transfer: Harmonisation after a redundancy process did not constitute an ETO reason entailing changes in the workforce

TUPE transfer: pay cuts reversed at employment tribunal for members The GMB has said that it has won an employment tribunal claim for members whose pay was cut and who had cuts to other terms and conditions following a TUPE transfer. The union successfully argued that the actions of their members’ new employer undermined the legal protection given to employees when a TUPE transfer takes place.
