Some of the most important reasons for granting the project company the right to operate a public sector service are to improve efficiency, to streamline the relevant corporate and management structures and to transfer commercial know-how from the private sector. However, this improved efficiency may be inconsistent with the interests of existing public sector employees. Applicable law may create restrictions governing the project company's relationship with its employees, whether:
• it is possible to transfer or second public employees to another entity/ contracting party,
• public sector employees that have been transferred to the project company retain their rights and benefits, and will new employees enjoy the same rights and benefits as the transferred employees
• employers can remove dishonest or bad workers, is it possible to impose disciplinary procedures, and the project company can release employees/ make them redundant, and if so, what sort of compensation is required by law/ if any
