TUPE: Law & Practice (Paperback, 4th Revised edition)

In the UK, a cascade of Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations/TUPE cases - notably and centrally upon the service provision change, as well as the subsequent enactment of the Collective Redundancies and the TUPE (Amendment) Regulations 2013 by the UK government - have made necessary this fourth edition of TUPE: Law & Practice. The new 2013 Amendment Regulations, in force from January 2014, are intended to clarify the issues raised by recent cases and also to reduce the burdens on employers of small enterprises in the UK. This guide provides analysis of: the scope to "service provision changes" (i.e. outsourcing/contracting-out and in), as well as clarification of the Regulation 3 * key changes relating to transfer dismissals and changes to terms and conditions * pensions obligations under TUPE * clarified 'joint' consultation rights * the confusing application of TUPE where the transferor is insolvent. Lawyers, politicians, policymakers, HR practitioners, as well as academics, will find that this book brings them up to speed on TUPE. This book aims to keep pace with these changes, providing practical advice and cutting edge analysis.

Employers' interests versus Employees' rights....

Sat, 8 Mar 2014 | Review by: Phillip T.

TUPE EXAMINED AND EXPLAINED An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers Practitioners dealing with matters relating to TUPE will be pleased to know that the latest – now the fourth -- edition of ‘TUPE: Law and Practice’ has recently been released by Spiramus Publishing. Even if you don’t need reminding, TUPE refers to the ‘Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment)’ legislation, the purpose of which is to safeguard employees’ rights where a change in ownership of a business has taken place. TUPE, by its very nature, has always been complex; now even more so, given the recent increase in TUPE-related cases. Definitely the time has come for another edition of this reliable, well established and now comprehensively updated guide, especially in the light of the new TUPE Amendment Regulations 2014, all of which are aimed at clarifying hitherto uncertain issues inherent in TUPE. Additionally, these regulations will benefit employees of small companies and businesses. As the expert authors, Wyn Derbyshire and Stephen Hardy, point out: ‘business transfers are usually aimed at business survival or, ideally, business success’. On the other hand, employees caught up in such transfers are inevitably concerned with the security of their jobs and the terms and conditions of their employment. Where a conflict arises between employers' interests and employees’ contractual rights, this guide is especially useful for clarifying and explaining the law relating to TUPE and identifying best practice in this area. The book covers the full spectrum of issues likely to arise in this rather volatile area of law, from employment rights, pensions and insolvency, to contracting out. New material includes, for example, Regulation 3 with respect to outsourcing and contracting out or in. Also clarified are ‘joint’ consultation rights and the application of TUPE in cases where the transferor is insolvent. While the aim of this book is obviously to keep you up to date, the authors note that the European Union has ‘announced its intention to examine whether another revised directive is required’ – something to watch out for in the distant, but not too distant future, no doubt. In the meantime, if you are a lawyer, not to mention a politician or policy maker this authoritative book will keep you current and well supplied with practical, plain English advice. Also note the handy list of further references and websites. The publication date is stated as at 31 January 2014.
