In its role as an employer, the Society will abide by the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, (TUPE) when the GPhC is created. Staff falling within the scope of this legislation will be automatically transferred to the new regulator with no break in the continuity of their employment.
So may I take it that there will be no wastage of our retention fees upon compensatory payments for loss of income / severance of contract to law firms which RPSGB has engaged in the past?
Do the law firms involved get future work from the new regulatory body?
In final comment I cannot help but feel that over the years lawyer's pockets have been handsomely lined at the expense of the members
Lawyer's severance pay
Lawyer's severance pay
Lawyer's Severence Pay
The Society MUST abide by the Transfer of Undertakings Regulations (TUPE).
Are the Lawyers employees?
