TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings and Protection of Employment Regulations).
If you're buying or selling a business it's essential that you check whether TUPE regulations apply (changes to this legislation in 2006 make very likely that the regulations will apply ).
This piece of legislation is complex and can easily trip up the most experienced business owners and employers. Don't get caught out, consider what it could mean to you and your plans at an early stage.
Useful information about the regulations can be found on the Business Link Website http://online.businesslink.gov.uk but for practical advice and guidance on what to consider and how to move forward please Contact Us.
