Employees’ Rights in Case of a Transfer of Undertaking
In case of a transfer of undertaking, the employment contract is not terminated, suspended or modified if there are no substantial changes in the activities of the new employer. Therefore, the employees have the right for their contract to remain with the same conditions, salary, working time, benefits and the seniority they were entitled to before the transfer took place.
As the transferred is liable for all labour rights of the predecessor, the employee can claim the labour rights that he was entitled to before the transfer took place, from either his previous employer or the new one.
