If your employer changes hands, your rights don’t just disappear. We’ll explain what TUPE means for you.
When the business you work for is sold, merges with another business, or changes who provides a service you work on, your employment rights may be protected under the TUPE Regulations. The point of TUPE is simple: you shouldn’t be worse off just because ownership has changed.
We advise on whether TUPE applies to your situation, what it means for your terms and conditions, your consultation rights, and what happens if your employer gets any of this wrong, including redundancy or dismissal connected to the transfer.
We regularly advise on:
- Whether TUPE applies
- Business sales
- Outsourcing
- Insourcing
- Service provision changes
- Changes to employment terms
- Dismissals connected with TUPE
- Redundancy following TUPE
- Consultation rights
- Failure to inform and consult
- Compensation claims
A change of employer shouldn’t mean a change to your rights.
Business transfers create genuine uncertainty, even when the law is designed to protect you through them. We can explain what’s actually changing, what isn’t, and what to do if your employer isn’t meeting its obligations.
If you’re not sure which of these fits your situation, call us, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
