I had to look this up as I didn’t know what it meant...so for anyone else who is not sure what TUPE stands for... “Transfer of Undertakings, Protection of Employment”
TUPE stands for the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations and its purpose is to protect employees if the business in which they are employed changes hands. Its effect is to move employees and any liabilities associated with them from the old employer to the new employer by operation of law.
