Description
Speakers Gareth Wadley and Lizzie Field discuss the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) and its implications for outsourcing and service provision changes.
They highlight the importance of identifying relevant employees, clear communication between outgoing and incoming service providers, and the need for robust commercial agreements. They also emphasise the legal and commercial considerations, the significance of due diligence, and the potential risks and implications for employees and employers. They explain the legislation’s origins in the EU Acquired Rights Directive and its core principles, including the protection of employees, the transfer of all rights, obligations, and liabilities, and the obligation to inform and consult with affected employees. They also clarify that TUPE applies to relevant transfers, either the transfer of a business or a service provision change, and is a mandatory law.
