There is no formal transfer mechanism between authorities for full-time employees of Fire Services. The contract of employment for each employee is with the relevant local authority to which they are contracted.

Under section 159 of the Local Government Act 2001, each Chief Executive is responsible for staffing and organisational arrangements necessary for carrying out the functions of the local authority for which he or she is responsible.
