Article 6 Transfer of staff
Where a person is employed immediately before 1st April 1993 by the governing body of the Polytechnic or the College, his contract of employment shall have effect on or after 1st April 1993 as if originally made between him and the governing body of the University.
Without prejudice to paragraph (1) above—
all the rights, powers, duties and liabilities of the governing body of the Polytechnic or the College under or in connection with a contract to which that paragraph applies, shall by virtue of this paragraph be transferred to the governing body of the University on 1st April 1993; and
anything done before that date by or in relation to the governing body of the Polytechnic or the College in respect of that contract or the employee shall be deemed on or after that date to have been done by or in relation to the governing body of the University.
Paragraphs (1) and (2) above are without prejudice to any right of an employee to terminate his contract of employment if the terms and conditions of his employment are changed substantially to his detriment, but such change shall not be taken to have occurred by reason only of the fact that his employer is changed by virtue of this Article.
Where a person—
has, prior to 1st April 1993, entered into a contract of employment with the governing body of the Polytechnic or the College which is to come into effect on or after that date; and
would, if the contract had come into effect before that date, have been an employee to whom the provisions of this Article would have applied, he shall be treated for the purposes of this Article as if he were such an employee.
