Does change of employment contract mean new start date?

[Freelancer87]

Hello,

We changed an employees pay packet from salary to base + commission.

We served him two week notice of the change which he worked through.

Does his new contract mean he has a new start date? Would that then mean he would fall under the same regulations as a new hire when we talk about redundancy obligations and accrual of holidays?

Thanks for the help and support!

His new contract gives him a new start date for that contract. For redundancy, unfair dismissal, statutory holidays etc he has continuous employment from his original start date.
