In the case of Ponticelli Limited v Gallagher, the Scottish Court of Session has confirmed that the right to participate in a share incentive plan transferred to the transferee / new employer under TUPE even though the employee’s right to participate in it arose outside of the contract of employment. The transferee employer was therefore obliged to provide a substantially equivalent share incentive scheme after the transfer.
