3.25 Part of the exercise which the Authority will need to undertake should include updating employees terms and conditions to ensure that all rights they have (including, for example, any local agreements) are documented and accurate for each individual. This is important to ensure that rights to continuity of employment and terms and conditions of the employees who are transferring to a new employer are assured when the transfer takes place.
3.26 The Authority should provide job descriptions for all staff that are to transfer. Job descriptions should reflect what the staff actually do and therefore may need to be updated if they do not. This work should be done during the preparation of the bid documents and provided to bidders prior to bid submission so that the bidders can price their bid appropriately. If this is not possible, then the contract manager must ensure it is completed prior to the transfer date.
