Issues covered:

Service provision changes are governed by the Service Provision Change (Protection of Employment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 (the “Regulations”). In order to fall within these Regulations:

(i) There is an organised grouping of employees situated in Northern Ireland which has as its principal purpose the carrying out of the activities concerned on behalf of the client;

(ii) The client intends that the activities will, following the service provision change, be carried out by the transferee other than in connection with a single specific event or task of short-term duration…”
