Protecting Your Business During Transfers of Undertakings
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006, commonly known as TUPE, are designed to safeguard employee rights when a business or service provision changes hands. For employers, TUPE can be complex, with serious legal and financial implications if not handled correctly.

What is TUPE?
TUPE provides important protections for employees when a business, or part of a business, is sold or transferred to a new owner (a “business transfer”), or when a service contract is outsourced, insourced, or retendered (a “service provision change”). In these situations, employees assigned to the transferring business or service automatically transfer to the new employer (the “transferee”), retain their existing terms and conditions of employment, and are protected from dismissals connected to the transfer. TUPE applies regardless of the size of the business or the number of employees affected, and failure to comply can result in claims for unfair dismissal, breach of contract, or protective awards.
