Experienced Support
It takes time and experience to work within the TUPE regulations to your commercial advantage and this is where our expertise really makes a difference.
If you are a contractor providing services you may well find out that you are covered by the TUPE regulations even if you don't get to 'sell' your old contracts or 'buy' your new ones.
Organisations contracting out services, or bringing them back in house are also covered by these regulations.
If anyone mentions TUPE to you, it is time to call us, even if you are completely convinced you have nothing to do with it. We offer new clients 20 minutes free advice so you can check out how TUPE may affect you.
Are you on a technical sales team? If you are submitting tenders for services through any supply chain from PFI to the NHS, you will find yourself dealing with TUPE. Often the contractors further up the chain sign 'TUPE plus' contracts where you takeon liabilities beyond the statutory minimum. You need to be fairly sure what you are doing and what this may cost you.
If you're the new employer, you want to be confident you know what you're entitled to do, since you are going to be the 'new starter' not them What if you want to put your newly acquired staff on the same terms as your own original staff? Can you 'harmonise'? Can you change people's jobs or hours or pay?
Are you the HR Manager ? Are you being bombarded with requests for data and action when you are already overloaded with something else? Wouldn't it help to have someone who knows a lot about transfers who can help you get through the workload?
If you are part of an in-house specialist TUPE resource we can provide overload and absence cover and help you smooth the peaks and troughs of your workload.
We can help you at every stage, from early planning to implementation. Regular clients often ring in with the odd query, others want a full briefing session or a whole project managed for them including all staff related paperwork. Whatever your needs, we will respond to your commercial and legal needs from pre-negotiating briefings onwards.
You can call our hotline service, or we can provide on-site executive briefings and training sessions - whatever is most appropriate to the scale of the project and the resources you already have available. We can provide one-off support, or help your team prepare for regular transfers by improving their knowledge base. From a phone call to a major project we are happy to help.
Once the deal is done, we can follow through with updating your contracts/handbooks and helping you to keep an eye on managing the performance of your newly structured team.
Our experience will save you time and effort. When you consider how much a problem employee could cost you, it is well worth investing in some timely advice.
