Hi All,
I have recently been told that my department which is IT is at risk from being outsourced .
If IT is outsourced does this make me redundant ?
Will I be entitled to redundancy payment or will I just get canned ?
Should know by June ...
Cheers

I guess this is where you start looking up the TUPE Regulations - try googling for the TUC website - they should have something on it re this.
I have the suspicion that TUPE is only enforceable for a very limited period of time - something stupid like 3 months or something I think? but someone else will confirm on this.0 -
Outsourcing company is Serco , any one had any dealing with them ?

You transfer on your existing terms and they stay in force till you agree to any changes.
They cannot just impose new T&C without you agreeing.
Allthough in practice employers can make changes just lke they can with any employee.
Make some favourable terms conditional on taking the less favourable ones,
eg: Want a pay rise or a promotion sign here.0 -

Hi Meat... I know this was a few years ago, but would be interested to hear how things went?

Given that he hasn't posted for 9 months don't be surprised if you don't hear anything. If you have a specific question you'd be better to start your own thread and ask it.0

Serco are reputable but big. Plenty of experience in TUPE in and out so you can have some comfort. Ask your employers quickly if TUPE is going to apply, it isn't always that straight forward but I am sure your company and Serco are discussing this based on what services are being outsourced and if any employees are associated whilst they are agreeing the commercial agreement. Has your employer started any form of consultation with you? If you find yourself at risk, it suggests the work you do was outsourced and there might have been a TUPE right so thats a fairly big indicator, hopefully both company's will want to avoid the risk associated with that. Good luck in getting your answers.0

Caeler, if you're responding to the OP that was 2 years ago and I'm sure will be done and dusted by now. You can't really reply to craigjones, who resurrected the thread, as we don't know what he wants to ask, if anything.0

Yep.
I work in IT as a developer. They provide hosting and infrastructure for one of our clients.
Some of their engineers have a very poor grasp of English, making telephone conversations difficult. They try and be proactive, but is can actually be counter productive, as they can ring support lines with bizarre requests that don't make any sense.
