You are currently on the blue route. You are transferring from a job in the NHS to a job in a charity, the voluntary sector or a social enterprise. If this does not apply to you, you need to go back to the to the transfer page and choose another route.
What do we mean by pay, terms and conditions?
All staff working for the NHS have the right to NHS pay, terms and conditions. Staff employed by other organisations delivering NHS services have the right to equivalent pay, terms and conditions.
Terms and conditions include such details as holidays, sick leave and contractual redundancy benefits. For staff directly employed by NHS organisations these are set out in the NHS Staff Council terms and conditions handbook and for NHS employed medical and dental staff in their relevant terms and conditions of service.
These documents may cover more than strictly contractual terms and conditions issues and therefore they may not all automatically transfer under TUPE - the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. Please refer to your HR department or staff representative for further clarification.
How will my transfer affect my pay and terms and conditions?
If you are compulsorily transferred to a non-NHS organisation which is providing NHS services under a Contract your pay and terms and conditions are protected under TUPE. TUPE protects your existing NHS pay and terms and conditions at the point of transfer, but future changes in NHS terms and conditions such as annual pay increases and will need to be negotiated.
