What we offer

Advice on TUPE Regulations

TUPE regulations are designed to protect employees’ rights when a business or part of it is transferred to a new employer. We help you understand the full scope of TUPE, ensuring that you are aware of your legal obligations and how they affect your workforce. This knowledge is crucial to managing the transition effectively and maintaining compliance.

Planning the TUPE Process

Effective TUPE management starts with thorough planning. We work with you to develop a comprehensive plan that covers every aspect of the transfer, from employee consultation to contract review. Our goal is to ensure that the process is as seamless as possible, minimising disruption to your business and providing clarity for your employees.

Conducting Employee Consultations

Employee consultation is a key part of the TUPE process. We guide you through the consultation process, ensuring that all affected employees are informed and that their concerns are addressed. This helps to build trust and reduce anxiety among your workforce, making the transition smoother for everyone involved.

Reviewing Employment Contracts

One of the critical aspects of TUPE is the transfer of employment contracts to the new employer. We assist in reviewing all relevant contracts to ensure they are compliant with TUPE regulations. This includes identifying any potential issues, such as changes in terms and conditions, and advising on how to address them legally.

Managing the Transfer Process

When the time comes to transfer employees to the new employer, we manage the process to ensure it is handled smoothly and legally. This includes coordinating with both parties, ensuring that all documentation is in order, and overseeing the handover of employee records and contracts. Our aim is to make the transition as efficient and stress-free as possible

Providing Post-Transfer Support

After the transfer is complete, it’s important to continue supporting your employees to ensure they settle into their new roles. We offer post-transfer support to help employees adjust to the changes, address any ongoing issues, and ensure that the new working relationships are productive and positive.

Ongoing Compliance and Monitoring

Compliance with TUPE doesn’t end after the transfer. We help you monitor the situation post-transfer to ensure ongoing compliance with all relevant regulations. This includes providing advice on any subsequent changes that may affect the transferred employees and helping you address any new challenges that arise.
