Below is a list of the common protections outlined for employees under TUPE regulations:
- Holiday entitlements
- The transfer of any open cases/claims against the company
- Pensions, although the new owner would be under no obligation to continue using the same company
- Retention of original contractual terms and conditions
- Retention of current length of service
- If a redundancy occurs solely due to the transfer, employees’ rights to claim unfair dismissal would be protected
- The right for consultations with HR and other employment professionals before the transfer takes place.
