But it's a sad fact that many people out there work for companies and only have a very basic verbal contract in place. They don't receive holiday or sick pay, nor get pension contributions. They simply turn up, work and get paid for the hours they actually work. In some cases they invoice or bill the company for the hours they have worked and receive payment then are responsible for paying their own tax/national insurance and pension contributions.
It's all very well stating that there's procedures in place but a lot of companies know exactly how to exploit loopholes.

If there's no written contract in place between worker and employer it's almost impossible for them to transfer to another company under TUPE. It can be done but it's difficult. It's most likely they have been offered employment with WOB. They won't transfer but there's a job for them under standard WOB contract if they want it.
