The UK Government is seeking feedback and evidence to inform development of policy options to reform the TUPE Regulations.
They are asking for feedback from all interested parties, including businesses, employees and employee representatives.
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) provide protections for employees that are moved between or within companies and other organisations. The TUPE Regulations also provide structure for businesses going through merger and acquisition processes for how to manage staff transfers.
The evidence will help the Government:
- update their understanding of the prevalence of TUPE transfers
- understand experiences with current TUPE processes
- consider how to better ensure TUPE is easy to follow for businesses to support growth and create a better environment for businesses to expand, sell, or merge
- consider how to strengthen the existing set of rights and protections for those subject to TUPE to create a more stable workforce during transitions
- develop policy proposals for reform
