Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (Amendment) Regulations 2009 come into force

Implementation date: 6 April 2009

The Regulations amend the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (SI 2006/246) as a result of the repeal of the statutory dispute resolution procedures. The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 require the transferor to supply information about employees including information of any disciplinary procedure taken against, or any grievance procedure taken by, an employee within the preceding two years in circumstances where statutory dispute resolution procedures apply as set out in the Employment Act 2002 (Dispute Resolution) Regulations 2004 (SI 2004/752). The effect of these Regulations is that the transferor is required to provide information in circumstances where the new "Acas code of practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures" applies, rather than where the statutory dispute resolution procedures apply. The Regulations can be viewed on the OPSI website.
