Ensure that employees' rights are preserved following a TUPE transfer
Key points
On a TUPE transfer, the contracts of employment of transferring staff transfer to the new employer, which also inherits the transferor's duties and liabilities under those contracts.
Certain rights do not transfer, for example certain rights in connection with pension schemes.
After the transfer, the new employer is restricted in its ability to makes changes to the transferring employees' contracts of employment.
