The transfer of staff where TUPE applies on the sale of a business or transfer of a service is an area that invariably causes headaches for the HR teams involved. Getting to grips with even just the basics of TUPE can raise complex questions and practical difficulties. The IRS conference on managing successful TUPE staff transfers aims to refresh your understanding of the basics, as well as looking in detail at more advanced issues arising from TUPE transfers.
We've put together a resource pack to accompany the conference, which brings together the information and guidance on TUPE that is available on XpertHR, to help delegates get the most out of the conference. If you can't make the conference, the resource pack will still be a useful tool in updating your team on the essentials and latest developments in the law on TUPE.
The resource pack includes:
- content from the XpertHR employment law manual on TUPE transfers and on the duty to inform and consult staff;
- frequently asked questions on the basics and more advanced aspects of TUPE;
- practical guidance on harmonising terms and conditions following the acquisition of a business; and
- recent case reports on TUPE.
The conference, on 10 February 2010, will cover:
- a step-by-step guide to a TUPE transfer;
- the effect of TUPE on pension benefits;
- working with trade unions throughout a TUPE transfer;
- case studies from the point of view of both the transferor and transferee; and
- a speaker clinic with the opportunity to ask questions on the more advanced aspects of TUPE.
