Ok so I have a friend who has been working for a company as an accountant and package includes salary and car allowance.
The company he was working for was bought out and he was Tupe'd over to the new company.
The new company then made a few redundacies and they know want him to change roll but also the new roll does not include the car allowance.
My understanding is he has three options
1) Take the job and the pay cut and sign a new contract
2) Do not take the job - if the company then want to 'get rid' of him they have to make him redundant.
3) Leave.
The crux for me is that a company cannot simply remove benefits in kind from a contract and as such the existing contract inlcuding salary and car allowance is in place until such time as either he or the employer terminates it within employment law guidelines.
Can anyone clarify?
