In Mears Homecare Ltd v Bradburn and others, the Employment Appeal Tribunal held that the duty to maintain national minimum wage records moves to the transferee on a TUPE transfer.
In Hare Wines Ltd v Kaur and another, the Court of Appeal upheld the tribunal's decision that the employee's dismissal was automatically unfair by reason of a TUPE transfer because the employer had not taken action to resolve her poor working relationships prior to the transfer, but did so by dismissing her at the time of the transfer.
This article looks at the framework providing protection to staff transferring out of and between local authorities, in addition to that provided by TUPE.
