Sickness Benefit Terms changed after being TUPE'd to another company
Comments

Thats not related to TUPE though
Except it does, people move trusts all the time and under the deal, when you move, you can be moved onto the lesser sick pay benefits. Same applies if you get promoted, you ll get an even higher salary but lower sickness benefits. There!!!8217;s rumours the GMB are opposing it because of this change - but that!!!8217;s another subject.
At the point of TUPE, benefits are the same, but they can be changed (subject to certain things like consultation or being informed) and then you have the choice to accept them by doing nothing or actively fighting them.

Those could potentially be used.

TUPE conditions can only be changed for genuine business reasons. It's not just a case of consultation or new contracts. Doing nothing does not affect your TUPE rights at all.
I believe you are wrong on all accountsChanging the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0
