Change of Contract

Dreamingandimpatient

Can anyone tell me what this means please? My understanding is that it tells me I can be moved to another part of the business and I have to accept?

'You may be required in pursuance of your duties to perform services for any Associated Company without further remuneration, including the acceptance of any position in any Associated Company.'

Thanks,

Tend to agree with you

You can refuse and make yourself unemployed.  You could try to talk to a union rep but I think they may tell you the same. 

Frankly most businesses (in my experience) tend to do this from time to time and occasionally will sneak in a little extra zinger about limiting business expenses or something that no one notices until much later.

Associated Company is capitalised and so should be a defined term elsewhere in the contract but presumably is any entity within the group. 

The former part is relatively reasonable, they can ask you to do your job for another part of the group and you get your standard pay for doing so. The second part isn't 100% clear what they are hoping to achieve and it somewhat depends how the business is structured but generally companies can just move you around hence why we have the TUPE protections etc

I agree

My late father  was a Professional Engineer  ,  he worked for a food processing company ,  which had both horizontal and vertical integration  within the group of companies 

there was a Holding company which employed  some of the very  senior managers and their supporting staff 

 there was the Poultry  processing company 
there was the farming company 
there was the Vegetable  processing company 
 there wasa transport company 

 the poultry processing company employed  most if not all of the Project  Engineers  and  Engineering managers, because they  had most of the engineering  , however if one of the other companies in the group was  proposing to do a significant  development  , the Engineering Project Manager and any  junior engineers  required would be 'lent' from the Poultry processing  company  for the duration of the project ,  The Poutlry processing copmany also had a number of CAD technicians and  Engineering Document/ Drawing  librarians, again these would be lent as necessary
