Hi all,

Any of you guys understand and can advise on TUPE regulations. I have a question as I am a transferring employee and am deeply worried about my job. Please contact me directly so I can explain my situation and my question.

Thanks

OK this is my situation.
I work in IT as a security expert. Before this role, I was looking after Treasury systems.
Part of my company is being bought, my security role is for the part that is being sold, therefore I will be TUPE'd over. Problem is that I have been asked to stop my security role for the meantime, and deliver Treasury systems for the buyer because I am the only transferring employee who knows how to do this.
At a high level:

My official job is JOB:A, but I am asked to do TASK:A which will take up 100% of my time. TASK:A is unrelated to JOB:A (I am the only person who can deliver TASK:A in the timeframe before close). The task in question will continue into my employment with the buyer post Day 1 (as I will be primary support for the Treasury applications I have just delivered), however officially I have been TUPE’d because of JOB:A. What happens if I don’t get to do my JOB:A at the buying company and maybe never get JOB:A back, but continue doing TASK:A which effectively becomes JOB:B given its taking up all my time. Does the TUPE regulations allow this and if so under what circumstances. Remember I would not be doing this TASK A if there was no sale. All i want to do is JOB A.
