Article 5 Transfer of staff

(1)

All employees of the Lews Castle Board are transferred into the employment of the North Highland Board.

(2)

The contract of employment of a person who transfers by virtue of paragraph (1)—

(a)

is not terminated by the transfer, and

(b)

has effect from the date of transfer as if originally made between the person and the North Highland Board.

(3)

Without prejudice to paragraph (2)—

(a)

all the rights and obligations of the Lews Castle Board under, or in connection with, a contract of employment are transferred to the North Highland Board, and

(b)

anything done before this Order has effect, by or in relation to the Lews Castle Board in respect of such a contract, is deemed to have been done by or in relation to the North Highland Board.

(4)

This article does not affect the right of any person to terminate their contract of employment if the terms and conditions of employment are changed substantially to the detriment of that person, but such a change is not to be taken to have occurred by reason only of the fact that the person’s employer is changed by virtue of this article.
