Changes to discretionary terms and non-contractual working practices

[ch 12: page 403]

Terms that were discretionary under the old employer remain discretionary under the new employer. The same applies in the case of non-contractual working practices. TUPE only gives transferred employees the same rights as they had under their original employment contract — not better rights.
