TUPE: business transfer

Updating author: Katie Wooller

Brightmine editor: Zeba Sayed

Summary

This guide explains how to identify a relevant TUPE transfer, focusing on the first statutory definition of a relevant transfer covering business transfers. This is where the whole or part of an organisation is transferred from one employer (the transferor) to another employer (the transferee). Where a relevant transfer exists, TUPE ensures the preservation of employees' rights and protections and imposes legal obligations that employers must comply with.
