TUPE
If you work in a business which is sold or replaced by a new service provider, you are protected by The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006, known as ‘TUPE’.
TUPE means your employment transfers to a new employer on your existing terms with your continuity of service intact. You are also entitled to be informed of any transfer and consulted with about its effects on your employment.
If your TUPE rights are breached you may be entitled to significant compensation.
Request a consultation with our expert Employment Law solicitors to discuss your TUPE rights and what to do if they are breached.
We can advise you on your rights and ensure you are protected throughout the complex TUPE process. If your rights are breached, we can help you maximise the compensation you receive from your employer.
