Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment (TUPE)

We will provide the HR lead for management of TUPE, restructure, redundancy, reorganisation and redeployment.

Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) applies when a part or the whole of an organisation is transferred to another employer within the UK, regardless of the size of the organisation. They are used more and more as organisations restructure in response to new challenges.

This process can be complex and challenging. Organisations are required to consult with their employees about the process, whilst in the public sector Transfer Orders can apply. The regulations aim to protect employees’ terms and conditions agreed under the old employer, including pay, holiday leave, continuity of service date and sick pay.

We can help you navigate the legal and operational practicalities of this process so that management can concentrate on the organisational and strategic benefits of the change.

 We will:
  • Help you prepare for the process so the complexities can be managed
  • Ensure that transfer takes place within the correct legal framework
  • Help minimise possible errors through effective planning and efficient implementation
  • Where possible align changes with organisational and strategic needs
