When you’re looking to buy or sell a business, or even merge with another company, there’s so much to consider and it can be easy to miss things out. However, a lot of business transfers are covered by the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) and this legislation sets out a process which you must follow in the event of such a transfer with hefty fines for those businesses who fail to comply. This includes the need to issue certain letters, consult with staff and maintain standard terms and conditions.
HR Focus can provide you with appropriate advice and template documents for you to manage the process correctly. If you’d prefer, we can actually run the consultation process for you, draft all your documentation and manage the people aspect of the transfer from start to finish, leaving you free to manage the more operational aspects of the transfer.
