unsure why they need it

[stuggling]

my partner is being tuped from one firm to another but the new firm want him to fill out a job application form and want to do a credit check on him but he refuses the credit check as he dose not work with money, and has told them no

 

im worried that they may sack him for this, i know that under tupe law his contract and hours stay the same but once he signed to the new firm can they dismiss him for this?

 

he works as a security officer and the site he on now has been took over by a new security firm and has been told that he will tupe over to new firm and everything remains the same

 

why the job application form and the credit check though?

[Emmzzi]

It may be a requirement that the owners of the site they look after have imposed.

 

Is there anything to worry about on the credit check or is this a point of principle?

[stuggling]

No it the security firm asking for it as the site don't require it

 

It principle for us as we think if he not working with money or getting an application for money or stuff then they don't require it

[Emmzzi]

they may not dismiss him for it now but a year down the line they may "harmonise conditions" and make it a requirement.

 

Depends how much you need the job. I don't know as I'd want to be off on a bad footing with the new boss myself.

[stuggling]

He got bad credit and to be dismissed for refusing to give one is wrong surley it be unfair dismissal as he not working with money and refuses the cash in transit jobs he job for this building site and once built just to check staff in and out

[Emmzzi]

they may want staff flexible enough to do cash transit too.

 

has he had a discussion with them?

 

how bad is bad credit? overstetched? defaults? ccjs? iva? bankruptcy?

[stuggling]

Defaults and a loss ccj that shouldn't b there but he finanvly linked to me and I have ccj n defaults to

 

He made it clear he won't do that he applys for companys that don't do the cash in transit as it a big risk

[Emmzzi]

he'd really best have a chat with the new employer.

[stuggling]

I'm gonna speak to acas on Monday see what they say

[assisted blonde]

he really should speak to his employer it may be a requirement that all staff can do cash jobs the fact that you say he has refused them in the past would suggest that they are part of the expected work.
