I understand what you are saying Neil, BUT I cannot honestly believe that ANY company out there will actually build the Perks into a binding contract. I've worked for many organisations, both big and small, the benefits etc are extras on top of the contract that can be withdrawn and changed at any time at the companies discretion. The contract can't. It would be shortsighted and unworkable for the benefits to be built in as part of the contract, from the point of view of the employer.

This isn't an NTL thing, and although I feel for the NTL staff, this happens everywhere .... it's not NTL specific.

Can you honestly tell me that the "free Gym membership" you get in some companies will automatically be transferred to a new owner in times of trouble. I doubt it, the Job is the most important thing.
