  "kind": "paragraph",
  "number": "8",
  "heading": "Treatment of new joiners to an outsourced workforce",
  "text": "The principle underpinning the provisions of paragraph 7 is to consider employees' terms and conditions (other than pensions arrangements which are dealt with in paragraph 10) in the round – as a “package”. This Code does not prevent service providers from offering new recruits a package of non-pension terms and conditions which differs from that of transferred staff, so long as the overall impact of the changes to this package meets the conditions in paragraph 7. The aim is to provide a flexible framework under which the provider can design a package best suited to the delivery of the service, but which will exclude changes which would undermine the integrated nature of the team or the quality of the workforce.",
