As the transferor, comply with the obligation to inform and consult representatives in relation to a TUPE transfer
Key points
As the transferor in a TUPE transfer, the employer is obliged to provide specified information to the appropriate representatives of affected employees, including information on the reasons for the transfer.
Eligible micro-businesses may inform and consult directly with affected employees.
The transferor's duty to inform employees applies to those of its own employees who will be affected by the transfer; this can include employees who will not transfer.
In certain circumstances, as well as providing information to representatives of its affected employees, the transferor must consult with them prior to the transfer.
