Hi Vontrap,
I am talking about an employee of 1 company being outsourced to another company. I understand there is no obligation for present or future employer to provide anything other than that stated as part of TUPE. I am looking for some details however, on gratuity payments paid to employees transferring from one employer to another as part of an outsourcing deal. These payments are often made, although as you state, not in any way obligitory. I am looking for a source where I can get indications of what type, average, low or high these payments have been across other companies, and what formulae is generally accepted in comming up with a figure, i,e cost to company, company profitability, savings estimated, loss of benefits in transfer etc etc. Kind of need it in a hurry, so just wondering if anyone had any info to hand or could pm me with some pointers ?
Thanks,
Wexfordman
