Am I the only one who can see my point here?
They wouldn't be 'lost' if ntl had documented them properly-fact.

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.

Not if the original employer (Pub) had documented it properly.

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.[/b]

Jeez-ntl wouldn't have to pay for it. Fujitsu would have to pick up the cost, so that the staff member still had the same benefits as he/she did prior to TUPE.

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.

Do any ntl employees have a copy of their contract to hand? Does it mention the 'associate package'?
