🚨 Why Immediate TUPE Action Matters

For Employees: Protect Your Livelihood
43% of transferred employees face detrimental contract changes within 6 months.
Without expert advice, you risk:

  • Coerced resignation via unreasonable location/role changes
  • Unlawful dismissal disguised as redundancy
  • Loss of accrued benefits (pensions, bonuses, seniority).

 

For Employers: Avoid Costly Tribunal Claims
Failure to comply with TUPE consultation rules risks penalties up to 13 weeks’ pay per employee. Common pitfalls we resolve:

  • Incomplete employee liability disclosures (£500+/employee fines)
  • Unlawful post-transfer contract alterations
  • Mishandled service provision changes
  • Act within 21 days – critical window for objections/claims.
