What can the authority ask for to monitor the contractors performance against the Code?
The authority can ask for the terms and conditions of both transferred staff and for new employees recruited to work on the contract after the transfer. This information can be provided by group or by grade to avoid Data Protection problems. The frequency of returns and their format should be set out in a contract clause and designed to be neither burdensome nor to endanger commercial confidentiality. However, the local authority should be able to ask for information within a specified numbers of days if a dispute has arisen which has not been resolved locally. A model clause is being developed to cover monitoring.
