Company name changing.

[nasreen baji]

My husband works in a multinational Public limited company. His company name is going to be changed but the job title, salary and the office will remain the same. In this case, the home office will consider it a same job or not?

Hi,

If evidence is provided they shouldn't have an issue.

Usually when there is a company name change most employers or HR departments will issue a letter to inform the workplace of any company wide changes including customers. Usually the commitments remain the same.

I can only see the terms and conditions changing in the contract to reflect the new company name in it.

Maybe a letter can be requested with this info if not received already just to clarify.

Again you can also do a Subject access request, requesting the relevant information held about you including start of employment and when the company changed its name.

Again the Home Office will and should have up to date minute detail as they have access to the HMRC database, as any company that changes their name, it is legally required to inform HMRC of the change. This is a legal requirement for them under Companies Act 2006.
