I don't hold out much hope for them.

They were offered self employment.

Grandad,

i noticed from October one change in TUPE



presumably a new employer could then make it untenable or uncomfortable for old employees to continue on the same work....

In which case it's constructive dismissal and equally as costly for the employer.

If they've already been Employed, the new firm cannot offer them SELF-employment!

I wonder if Wannabee is actually the new employer in this. He seems to be looking for every which way not to recognise his obligations rather than accept he is wrong.

I have just got back from the pub and I have an email from county hall timed at 09.42 this morning telling me that they have spoken again with the new operator and he is happy that TUPE does not apply in this case and that he will employ the staff under his own terms and conditions (self employed)
I had previously mentioned to County hall about cash in hand payments and that they we illegal. I don't think they understood this because they have written back saying cash in hand payments are not illegal provided that tax and national insurance have been deducted. DURR that is PAYE.
However my son received a phone call at 11.15 this morning from county hall asking if we were in a position to accept the contract because the new operator had sent it back.

When TUPE will apply again...

Maybe County Hall will learn you don't get owt for nowt as they say up north. They might also learn that TUPE certainly can and does apply in some cases, and that "cash in hand" is different from being paid in cash with a pay slip with deduction being made where appropriate!
