1

This paragraph applies where a community or voluntary controlled school changes category to become a voluntary aided school.

2

The contract of employment between P and the local authority has effect from the implementation date as if originally made between P and the governing body.

3

All the local authority's rights, powers, duties and liabilities under or in connection with the contract of employment are transferred to the governing body on the implementation date.

4

Anything done before that date by or in relation to the local authority in connection with that contract or P is to be treated from that date as having been done by or in relation to the governing body.

5

In this paragraph, “P” is a person who—

a

immediately before the implementation date is employed by the local authority to work solely at the school in question, or

b

before the implementation date, is appointed by the local authority to work at the school as from the implementation date or a later date.

But a reference to “P” does not include—

a

a person whose contract of employment terminates on the day immediately preceding the implementation date, or

b

a person employed by the local authority to work at the school solely in connection with the provision of meals.

7

This paragraph does not affect any right of an employee to terminate the contract if (apart from the change of employer) a substantial change is made to the employee's detriment in the employee's working conditions.
