TUPE, or the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, is a crucial piece of legislation in UK employment law.
It's designed to safeguard the rights of employees when the business they work for undergoes a change in ownership or transfers to a new employer. This could happen due to various reasons such as mergers, acquisitions, or outsourcing arrangements.
Under TUPE, employees' contractual rights, terms, and conditions are typically preserved, and they are automatically transferred to the new employer, ensuring continuity of employment.
Additionally, TUPE imposes obligations on both the outgoing and incoming employers to inform and consult with affected employees regarding the transfer.
