TUPE and contract cleaning companies continued
Carried on from part one - If you are a European or
UK contract cleaning company
looking to expand or even sell your business you will sooner or later,
more likely sooner, come across the TUPE regulations.
The regulations mean for cleaning contractors that when a a cleaning contract passes from client to cleaning contractor or between cleaning contractors, cleaners have a legal right to transfer to the new employer on their same terms and conditions of employment - and with continuous service.
Cleaning companies face a minefield of regulation with no clear guidelines, for example there are no specific guidelines as to when an employee spends sufficient time on a contract to be guaranteed TUPE protection in the event of a transfer But if the contractor gets this wrong and mistakenly judges an employee does not qualify for the transfer, an employee can go to an employment tribunal at no cost to themselves get a significant amount for unfair dismissal.
If you are involved in any aspect of TUPE you will need specialist employment advice as it is extremely complicated and open to misinterpretation, but get it wrong and the outcomes can extremely costly. Here at ICS Cleaning we employ specialist employment law consultants and have considerable experience in dealing with TUPE and can guide our clients through the whole process.
