PO-8518 Mr E complaint
Employer misrepresentation induced employee to agree a start date that acted to his detriment
Mr E complained that LBG had not provided him with a preserved pension following the transfer of his contract of employment to TSB under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations (TUPE). He claimed that he was assured he would receive membership of the Scheme but ultimately his contributions were returned, with the consequence that he lost his employer contributions for a little under three months. The Pensions Ombudsman upheld his complaint.
