I have just received a TUPE transfer agreement. While most of it appears fairly routine, one clause strikes me as overly broad -- especially when compared to the terms in my original contract with the company that was taken over. Could you please review it and advise whether I should be concerned? Also, would you recommend requesting that this clause be tightened up before I accept the agreement, or is this type of wording now commonplace?
This clause is:
Upon transfer your role will change to a remote worker based from your home address. If this address changes, the Company reserves the right to review your contractual work location. The Company reserves the right to appoint you to other positions and require you to carry out additional or alternative duties (whether within the Company or any Group Company) and to base you at other locations whether temporarily or permanently, as the needs of the business require. You may be expected to travel throughout the UK and abroad in the performance of your duties. However, you will not be required to work outside the UK for any continuous period of more than one month.
Note that the change to remote working has happened because the office near me was closed.
Thanks, Andy
