TUPE Advice & TUPE Settlement Lawyers
.The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (commonly known as TUPE) is the principle piece of legislation governing employees upon the transfer of a business.
The main aim of the TUPE regulations is to protect employees upon the transfer of a business or part of a business. This includes preserving the transferring employee’s continuity of employment and their terms and conditions of employment.
The regulations move employees and any liabilities associated with them from the old employer to the new employer.
However, TUPE can be an extremely complicated piece of legislation.
At Farnworth Rose, we are here to provide the advice you need on whether TUPE regulations apply to your circumstances and on any actions you will need to take.
When Might TUPE Regulations Apply?
TUPE can apply in a number of situations, including:
Where a business is bought or sold
Where part of a business is bought or sold
Where a ‘service provision change’ is made e.g. outsourcing a service (for example office cleaning) to an external provider, changing from one provider to another or bringing a service back ‘in-house’.
Whether TUPE regulations will apply to any of these situations is a matter of fact and law. Seeking early advice from an employment law expert will offer you the greatest protection.
Helping You Act Within Specific Regulations
If TUPE regulations do apply, strict obligations are placed upon both the transferee and transferor. Any breaches of these obligations can have serious consequences for both parties.
There are a number of potential dangers and pitfalls when dealing with TUPE regulations. Attempting to go it alone could leave you open to various claims, especially where any employees have been dismissed.
At Farnworth Rose, we can help you comply with the obligations placed upon you by TUPE regulations.
Our aim is to support you every step of the way, offering guidance through the transfer process. This will ensure that you understand the liabilities you are inheriting and comply with your obligations under the regulations.
