Podcast: TUPE transfers with multiple contractors
Adrian Martin, head of the employment team at law firm Burges Salmon, discusses the tricky issues that can crop up when there are multiple contractors in a TUPE transfer, and how both outgoing and incoming employers can navigate these issues.
Adrian takes you through the legal and practical issues involved in service provision changes, including: when and why TUPE might apply; the "fragmentation" of services; recent case law; and how HR can help to structure and shape the services to achieve the commercial objective.
You shouldn't just think of TUPE as a process to be managed. It can lead to significant risks and costs, and therefore it can have quite serious implications from a commercial perspective, whether you're the client or an incoming or outgoing contractor.
