I found out today the company I work for has been bought out by Co-op. It's always been a cosy little family company but now we've been swallowed up, which is what I moved to this company to get away from Long term happiness and ambitions aside, I need the odd bit of help with employment law before I tell the staff the wrong thing as I have that little knowledge, dangerous thing as it were.
So, does the new company leagally have to take on the current staff and tupe them all? In the past, I know it has been acceptable practice for the company taking over to make old staff reapply for their jobs with the new company and re-interview them etc then give them new T&C. Is that still acceptable? Urgent answers required please, the new bosses are coming round tomorrow and I don't want to stick my foot in it with regard to emplyment law
