WRC upholds worker’s complaint over unannounced company transfer

The WRC upheld a worker’s complaint that he was not told about a transfer between related companies, but did not uphold his complaint that he had not received written employment terms. The decision was dated 6 July 2016. The worker said he had never received a contract and had not been told that his employment was being transferred. The company provided documents to support its position that it had given him written terms. It agreed there had been no consultation about the transfer, which it said was for administrative purposes.
