Public Services Management Update: Transfer trouble

Some local authorities are refusing to supply the information necessary for potential contractors to comply with the transfer of undertakings (TUPE) regulations, says the Cleaning and Support Services Association. It has supplied members with a draft questionnaire to send to health authorities and councils asking for information on employee conditions of service, which contractors may need to abide by under TUPE. Unless all councils co-operate with the provision of full staff details the CSSA will ask the Government to take enforcement action.
