Are all employees affected by TUPE and ARD?
When a transfer of business or change of service provision occurs employees (in this case cleaners) who fall within the scope of the regulations transfer automatically to the acquiring business (the transferee). The significance of the ARD is that for public authority employees, e.g. Government departments, local authorities, health or education authorities, its employees can rely directly on the ARD if they believe it gives them greater rights than domestic legislation.
