TUPE and contract cleaning companies
If you are a European or
UK contract cleaning company
looking to expand or even sell your business you will sooner or later,
more likely sooner, come across the TUPE regulations.
But what are the TUPE regulations and how do they affect cleaning companies? These two seemingly simple question should have simple straightforward answers but unfortunately TUPE is enormously complicated and if a cleaning contractor gets it wrong the financial costs can be significant.
TUPE is short for Transfer of Undertakings of Protection of Employment Regulations 2006 and are the UK's implementation of the European Community's new Acquired rights Directive (2001/23/EC). It is now a significant part of UK employment law, protecting employees whose business is being transferred to another business. The 2006 regulations replace the old 1981 regulations.
The aim of TUPE is to protect the rights of employees, ensuring that workers are not dismissed before or after a transfer unless there is an "economic, technical, or organisational" reason. Employees' terms and conditions of contract should not be compromised before or after the transfer (again unless there is an economic, technical or organisational reason). Employees must be consulted through any transfers. The protected contract terms for Employees inc hours of work, pay, length of service, and any other entitlements.
