Unite and Barclays agree transfer terms for Ekins Chartered Surveyors to e.surv

Unite the Union and Barclays have announced the successful completion of talks regarding the transfer of Ekins Chartered Surveyors to e.surv, a subsidiary of LSL Property Services Plc, with effect from 1st August.

Unite and Barclays have worked together over a number of months to agree the terms and conditions to make them as broadly comparable to current terms as possible in line with the TUPE regulations. e.surv, one of the leading property services companies in the UK which provides residential property surveying and valuation, recognises Unite and have a good working relationship.

Key terms and conditions for the 200 employees have been protected – pay and bonuses, working location and patterns, holidays, leave policies, company cars, medical health insurance and staff borrowing. The Barclays redundancy terms will be preserved for two years post transfer.

Hugh Roberts, Unite Negotiator, said: “Working in partnership with Barclays we have successfully secured protection for key benefits – we look forward to developing our working relationship with e.surv.”

“Pensions were a key issue as e.surv do not have a final salary pension scheme and staff will be entitled to join the e.surv defined contributions scheme. The union and Barclays have agreed enhanced pension contributions to be paid into e.surv’s pension scheme at the point of transfer. Employees wishing to consider early retirement can still do so after their 50th birthday.”
