The Transfer of Undertakings Regulations Available to Purchase

As a result of European and British Court changes, together with domestic legislation, the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) apply to many instances where service contracts change hands. Facilities managers must be aware of when the regulations may apply, and take an active part in ensuring that competition is fair and realistic where they do apply. Suggests contract procedures should be amended to cover the provision of employee information, longer contract periods and indemnities for historical redundancy liabilities.
