When a business changes hands, its employees may be protected under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE). TUPE can also apply to outsourced and managed services, where an entire workforce changes employer.
TUPE legislation is complicated and ever changing. If your business is or could be affected by TUPE, then you’re going to need expert help. In plain language, we’ll explain the issues and the implications, and how TUPE will impact a potential deal. Our help could include advising on the application of TUPE, or how to avoid it by putting alternative contractual terms in place. You can even ask us to negotiate with the other side on your behalf. Our aim is to get the deal done on terms which protect your business.
Our Guide to TUPE is a very useful starting point for those facing it for the first time, or others who are simply faced with a TUPE question they can’t answer.
