TUPE stands for the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, which are designed to protect employees’ rights when their employer’s business is transferred to a new owner. TUPE can be a complex area of law, and there are several potential pitfalls that businesses should be aware of in order to avoid any legal issues.
One of the most important things to remember is that TUPE applies to all employees, regardless of their length of service or job title. This means that even if an employee has only been with the business for a short period of time, they will still be protected by TUPE if their job is transferred to a new employer.
