Quite true, it is a benefit/perk, and most companies offer it (at least decent ones
). However, some specific perks offered by companies during transfer will be lost, because they are specific to the previous company.
It's like being offered free beer when working for a Pub, that changes to an alcohol free Restaurant, the Pension is a standard perk, the beer would be dropped in favour of something new. It's quite possible that Fujitsu have a range of similar "own brand" perks that will be offered to the new employees.
It is unreasonable for NTL to continue to supply and pay for a perk for someone who is no longer an employee, the same can be said for any company.
EDIT: Just a note .... Perks are offered, including pensions, but the employee doesn't have to take any of them ... it's a personal choice. The contract of Employment is signed by both parties and is lwafully binding.
