This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
3(1)This paragraph has effect in any case where the rights and liabilities relating to an individual’s contract of employment are transferred in accordance with a scheme.
(2)The transfer does not break the continuity of the individual’s employment, and accordingly—
(a)he is not to be regarded for the purposes of Part 11 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (c. 18) (redundancy) as having been dismissed by virtue of the transfer,
(b)his period of employment with the transferor counts as a period of employment with the transferee for the purposes of that Act.
(3)The terms and conditions of the individual’s employment with the transferee (taken as a whole) must not be less favourable to the individual than the terms and conditions on which he is employed immediately before the transfer.
