16. Employee Rights on TUPE – Public Sector Outsourcing

16. Employee Rights on TUPE – Public Sector Outsourcing

16.1. Under the heading ‘Public Sector Outsourcing’ the Bill promises further rights for public sector workers who have been transferred under TUPE into the private sector.

16.2. The measures are intended to prevent the growing problem of a “two-tier workforce” where private and ex-public sector employees are on different terms and conditions. Regulations will be introduced with the suggestion that there may be a requirement to include provisions within outsourcing contracts that those transferring from the public sector into the private sector will be treated no less favourably.
