Plus side for us could be greater opportunities as we'll now be working for a large multi-national corporation. Down side though is possible loss of associate offer (argh!!! no more cheap cable modem etc )

I work for ntl and I have lost my associate analogue benefit gets a letter sorry we a terminating your package and increasing your prices this is a gradual erosion of benefit and we will soon have to pay £3000 tax allowance for the van.

[slimshady]

T.U.P.E laws should protect all of that Mick, basically everything should carry over.

Does anyone know which part of Cleppa Park this is referring too.

Is this the Online House side that are doing business and other areas or are they referring to the other side with is VISP etc.

[quadplay]

This only refers to Narrowband support (ntlworld, virgin.net, tesco.net, etc.). There are no plans to extend this to any other centres as far as I'm aware.

So with this "T.U.P.E" law does my associate offer still stand after Fujitsu take over?

thanks

In a nutshell yes.

But if it is not possible they should supply an alternative compensation.

I.E. if they cannot give you the benefits via NTL they are obliged to give a cash alternative or other benefit so you do not loose out.

Some more info below -

Employees employed by the previous employer when the undertaking changes hands automatically become employees of the new employer on the same terms and conditions. It is as if their contracts of employment had originally been made with the new employer. Thus employees' continuity of employment is preserved, as are their terms and conditions of employment under their contracts of employment (except for certain occupational pension rights).

Transferred employees retain all the rights and obligations existing under their contracts of employment with the previous employer and these are transferred to the new employer.

Ooops to add to my last posting as eddie has since pointed out then if the associate offer is not mentioned in your current T&Cs then looks likely you will loose it.

My mistake sorry never read the full post.

[ian@huth]

AFAIR benefits given to employees by custom and practice are regarded as being part of the contract of employment even though they are not mentioned in the written contract.


Was there anything in writing about the associates subsidised services? Were the subsidies available to all employees?

How can it not be in your contract??

[eddie00001]

From what I remember its not written into the contract, just as a benefit which is separate. I'm pretty confident though that we'll still receive some sort of 'offer' after May

Trust ntl to give you something, but not put in your contract.

How underhand, & unprofessional.

[slimshady]

So are you definately all loosing your associate benefit?....

Does this mean you will have an office without large patches of coffee?

and Chairs that actually work?

and PC's that didn't belong to Noah?
