FAQs

TUPE apply whenever an undertaking, or part of an undertaking, is transferred from one employer to another. It is easy to recognise a transfer where it involves the transfer of a business as a going concern e.g. the sale of a factory. But it can be difficult to decide whether TUPE apply if a transaction relates to a single activity e.g. where there is a change in the employer responsible for providing a service, such as cleaning or catering.

Your UNISON representative will be able to advise or obtain legal advice as to whether TUPE applies.
