The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (“TUPE”) may be useful to NGOs and charities, who are governed by the law of England and Wales, and that are in the process of merging their activities with another organisation, or in the process of outsourcing organised groupings of resources, such as employees or assets.

The TUPE Regulations are designed to safeguard the rights of employees on the transfer of a business or activity. This guide, prepared by Jennifer McGrandle and Abigail Black of Mayer Brown in collaboration with A4ID, explains which cases TUPE is applicable to, what information needs to be provided from each party, the particulars involving consultation, and the particulars involving dismissal and changing terms and conditions.
