TUPE advice please..

[anonymous-user]

A friend of mine is moving to a new company under TUPE agreement. I understand this protects salary / terms etc. I went through it myself last year, it worked out really well..

Her question is, she has a good salary + a 5k car allowance (taxable). The new company does not do car allowances currently for her job type. Do they have to honour this allowance under TUPE, or buy her out of it etc?

Thanks in advance!

Depends if it's a contractual or discretionary benefit.

Pretty sure its contractual, it goes with her job grade?

Depends how bad she wants to keep her job in the final analysis.

She'll do better to negotiate on merit terms than hide behind TUPE in the long run.

How did it finish up?

I don't suppose we'll ever know....

But I'm still curious
