 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr Mahmood from Wildings Solicitors for the purchase of my home, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. He was incredibly knowledgeable, pleasant, and helpful throughout the entire process. They ensured everything went smoothly and kept me informed every step of the way. Their dedication and professionalism made a significant difference, and I am extremely grateful for their hard work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Farzana, the receptionist, was exceptionally efficient and friendly. Soyod, our solicitor, dealt with what needed to be done in a timely fashion and made sure we had copies of what had been completed. I was very pleased with the service and will use this branch again for future needs.

What is TUPE and When Does it Apply?

The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006, or 'TUPE', is a set of laws designed to protect employees when the business they work for changes hands.

Business Sales & Mergers

When a business or part of a business is sold or merged, the employees transfer to the new owner with their existing terms and conditions intact.

Service Provision Changes

When a service is outsourced to a contractor, brought in-house, or the contractor changes, the employees working on that service are protected by TUPE.

Your Questions About TUPE

For Employees

What rights are protected under TUPE?

TUPE protects your continuity of employment and your contractual terms and conditions. This includes your salary, holiday entitlement, and other contractual benefits. Your new employer effectively steps into the shoes of your old employer.

Can my new employer change my contract?

An employer cannot make changes to your terms and conditions *because* of the TUPE transfer itself if the reason is detrimental to you. They can only make changes for a valid "economic, technical, or organisational" (ETO) reason, or if the changes are positive for you.

Can I be made redundant after a TUPE transfer?

Yes, but any redundancy must be for a genuine ETO reason. For example, if the new business structure means your role is a duplicate. You cannot be dismissed simply because of the transfer. If you are, it is likely to be an automatically unfair dismissal.

Can I refuse to transfer to the new employer?

Yes, you can object to the transfer. However, if you do, your employment legally ends on the date of the transfer. This is treated as a resignation, meaning you will not be entitled to claim redundancy or unfair dismissal.

For Employers

What are our duties to "inform and consult"?

Both the old employer (transferor) and the new employer (transferee) have a legal duty to inform and consult with representatives of the affected employees about the transfer. This includes providing specific information about when and why the transfer is happening and any proposed changes ('measures').

What happens if we fail to inform and consult correctly?

Failure to comply with these duties can lead to a significant penalty. An Employment Tribunal can award up to **13 weeks' gross pay** for each affected employee, a cost that can be financially devastating for a business.

Can we harmonise terms and conditions after a transfer?

This is a major legal risk. Harmonising terms (e.g., changing the transferred employees' contracts to match your existing staff) is generally unlawful if the sole reason is the transfer itself. Any such changes could be void. You must have a valid ETO reason to make changes.

What employee liability information do we need to provide?

The outgoing employer must provide the incoming employer with specific written information about the transferring employees, including their identity, age, employment particulars, and details of any disciplinary or grievance procedures. This must be provided at least 28 days before the transfer.
