Thanks you for that I was really losing my mind as I could not understand how a law could be passed so that you had to take continue to take on the staff who were not yours. Thank you

Martin,

I really value your points and your expertise in this area, but the cleaners are not employed solely for our company, they cover many companies ours just being one of the contracts that they clean for , so is this still the case .

If I understand you though, this will only arrise if the business in which they work transfers to another business. We are not taking over their business , these cleaners are contracted to work for a company , just as I am contracted to work for my company. It would be very strange for our customers to finish their contract with us as a company but they would still have to take me on as an employee.

If someone came in and took over the company for which I worked then I would agree that I would need to be given first refusal to work for the new compnay . That is the only way that I can see TUPE works , otherwise it would not make sense

To get rid of the present contractors do we therefore have to just terminate the contract and not take on Contractor B.
I think that TUPE should only refer to business which are taken over by another business, why should you have to be stuck with the same cleaners what seems to be for the rest of your life . This does not make sense to anyone with common sense, why is this.

We have a contract with a cleaning contract, the work is not up to scratch and we have advised them of notice of termination of the contract. They have advised us that under the TUPE regulations that the new cleaning form will need to take the cleaners on. This does not make sense to me . Please could you clarify this
