Transferred employees and new hires
An acquisition mixes two distinct HR situations, not to be confused:
- Transfer of existing employees: in most member states, employment contracts are transferred to the acquirer, who inherits the rights and obligations. This is not a hire.
- New hires: recruitments decided by the acquirer to grow the activity or fill departures — these are what can open access to hiring grants.
The simulator targets grants linked to new hires, while reminding you of the obligations attached to transferred employees.
