More Description

After the revised Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) were introduced in April 2006, UK employers and their advisers have been grappling with the consequences for terms and conditions of employment, pensions provision, and insolvencies. Since the second edition of this book was published, the UK's courts have continued to see clarification of the position of TUPE in relation to insolvency. Further, there have been clarifications of what is meant by "service provision change." To that end, this third edition encapsulates these changes and many others caused by the latest UK case law developments. The book provides a guide to the TUPE Regulations 2006, contextualizing the existing TUPE protections. More readily, it considers the practical issues - consultation, pensions, what transfers and what does not, as well as how the vexed issue of fragmentation hinders clarity. This established text also examines the impact of EU law on this area. Consequently, it remains an invaluable reference work for practitioners, human resource managers, policy makers, academics, and students.
