We work to ensure public sector outsourcing arrangements make sufficient pensions provisions.
The public sector is increasingly outsourcing functions to private sector contractors with employees transferring under TUPE. Pension rights are a key consideration in this process as public sector workers have pension rights on transfer that their private sector colleagues do not.
It is essential that the original transfer agreement is properly structured to reflect both parties’ interests. Otherwise unexpected costs can arise or staff may find themselves losing out on valuable pension scheme membership.
We advise on all aspects of the outsourcing process to protect clients’ interests, meet their legal obligations, avoid unexpected expenses and maximise revenue.
We provide support on a wide array of issues in this field from initial negotiations to outsourcing contracts and employer exits from pension schemes.
We act for public and private sector employers ranging from SMEs and multinationals to senior leaders including CEOs, directors and shareholders.
