In other words, it&#8217;s not just a change of company, but also a continuation of the staff performing the cleaning tasks.<\/span><\/p><p><span dir=\"auto\">In our experience, this mechanism is designed\u00a0<\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">to protect workers&#8217; rights and guarantee job security<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">, preventing them from losing their jobs every time there is a change in contractor.

This ensures continuity, which is very positive, as the staff are already familiar with the building&#8217;s facilities, routines, and specific needs.<\/span><\/p><p><span dir=\"auto\">However, this also means that\u00a0<\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">the community cannot freely demand a change of staff<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0if the transfer requirements established in the collective agreement are met. Therefore, it is important to consider this factor before deciding to change companies, as the service may continue to be provided by the same professionals.<\/span><\/p><h3><span dir=\"auto\">Obligations for property managers<\/span><\/h3><p><span dir=\"auto\">Property managers play a key role in cleaning company change processes, as they are usually responsible for managing the hiring process and coordinating the transition.
