Sarah King Employment Solicitor

TUPE 2014, employment solicitor ThrapstonThe last of the changes made by the Collective Redundancies and Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (Amendment) Regulations 2014 (SI 2014/16) came into force on 31 July 2014.

The new regulation 13A of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) now provides that employers with fewer than ten employees may directly consult affected employees in cases where there are no existing appropriate representatives and the employer has not invited any affected employees to elect employee representatives.

This is one of the positive changes for small employers who can now consult with their small team of employees rather than having to elect reps.
