Employment Law - company split
« on: 14 September 2012, 09:49:18 am »
I've been looking for information about this and cant find much on the web so decided to try and see if any of you guys know anything about it. 


I currently work at a GP surgery group which is made up of 2 surgeries. The GP's don't get along and have now decided they are going to split the group up so it will become 2 separate surgeries.  Now as they are being very secretive about what is happening i was hoping someone could help me to understand where i stand, as i know they will both be wanting me to work for them.  Will my pay be frozen? can they change my job? can i negotiate with both to get the best deal for me before deciding where to go?


any advice from a bunch of foccers will be much appreciated. :)

Who is named as your employer on your contract?
 
 
Is it one of the GP's or both of them, or is it the PCT they work for?
 
You could try a work mediation forum or ACAS, are you in a union?

The employer is all of them as they formed a group.  I have tried acas but am yet to get a response.

Well it seems initially you are in a strong position, if they both want you and both own an equal share in your existing contract then they will each have to offer you something more than the other to keep you in their employ.
 
Somehow I doubt this will be the case (as an NHS employee I know GPs and they are not stupid when it comes to money), I think you need to take some employment law advice (possibly google that and you should find a forum or two) but I'd wait until the 'offer' is made.
 
No point in going off until you know if it's a good or bad thing, sit tight and it will come out in the wash.
 
The basics are a Tupee will involve all your current terms and conditions will go to your new job, I expect they will cease your contrcat possibly making you redundant and re-employing you if they are feeling generous or just asking you to switch to a new contract (more likely), either way don't jump to refuse or accept anything, read the offers through and digest it fully before you make any decision.

Perhaps seek advice from your union.

If you are a Trade Union member you'll get free legal advice.  It's all too easy to get screwed signing documents you don't fully understand.

I'm playing golf wiv me Harley St. GP next week - I'll ask him what he reckons :)

But seriously, talk to them. Going 'behind their back' won't win you any friends. No need to sign anything yet, but find out what may happend and let them know your concerns and what you'd like to happen.
