Understanding and ensuring compliance with TUPE is crucial during business transfers, mergers, or acquisitions. Our team of experienced lawyers specialises in TUPE law and is here to guide you through the process, safeguarding both employers and employees.
What is TUPE?
Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment (TUPE) is a legal framework designed to protect employees' rights when the business they work for undergoes a change in ownership or structure. TUPE regulations aim to ensure that employees' terms and conditions of employment are preserved during the transfer, safeguarding job security and continuity.
Where the Regulations apply, all the transferor’s (the outgoing employer’s) rights, obligations and liabilities under or in connection with the transferring employees’ contracts of employment are transferred to the transferee. The employee will then transfer over with the preservation of these rights and their continuous service, and if any dismissals or unlawful treatment occur(s), employees will have recourse to make a claim. The application of TUPE and the possible resulting penalties if companies fall foul of the Regulations can pose a significant risk for both outgoing and incoming businesses and it is important to be aware and prepared for these.
