Transferring employees under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) can be a complex process for both outgoing and incoming employers. TUPE is designed to protect employees’ rights when a business or service changes hands. 

Handled properly, a transfer can be smooth and low-risk. Handled poorly, it can lead to tribunal claims, financial penalties, and reputational damage.
