Code of Practice on Workforce Matters in Public Sector Service Contracts
Released on 12/09/2005
The Code of Practice on Workforce Matters in Public Sector Service Contracts has been extended to include the wider public sector, including the Civil Service, NHS and maintained schools.
The Code prevents the emergence of a two-tier workforce in cases where public sector employees are contracted out to a service provider, ensuring that new recruits receive comparable treatment to the transferred staff.
It will apply where a public sector organisation transfers employees to a private or voluntary sector partner as part of a service contract.
Under the code, new joiners will be offered terms and conditions that are, overall, no less favourable than those of transferred employees.
