If the new employer's asking you to sign a new contract, or you're considering signing a new contract with the new employer, you need to get advice from a specialist in employment rights.

 

Exactly which is why I said about them putting an employment solicitor in place.

 

I had this problem where I live in Portsmouth and my employer paid the travelling costs to London.

 

When another contractor took over the government contract I was expected to pay those costs.

if you are asked to sign another contract it needs to be inspected by a professional in employment law to satisfy yourself that there are no major changes to the original and indeed it does not give the new employer scope to change it this should be paid for by your new employer PF

[pompeyfaith]

if you currently have a contract then yes it has to be transfered if the new employer wants to change it that has to be done with your agreement and that is why professional help must be got your current contract is protect under TUPE law

Kopper on view of what you have just said you really do need to seek professional legal advice.
