Hi Guys!
This may be one for Abe or some of our more knowledgeable employers on the Forum?

Basically one of the Security Guards at a site I go to asked if I knew about Employment Law?


He was tupe (Transferred) from his previous employer to a new one. He has never had a contract change so believed his terms and conditions were as before.
The contract He has from his previous employer states that when working a Bank Holiday He was entitled to Double Time Pay.
Having worked over Christmas, he claimed Double time for some of the relevant Hours.

To be told by his New employer "We don't have a copy of your Old contract"
Our terms are not Double time so we have not paid you Double time.

I think all he got was Flat rate?

Is their action legitimate?
