TUPE Solicitors in Gloucester
If your company is about to be sold or taken over then you may be slightly concerned about the terms of your contract or potential changes that could be put in place. TUPE refers to the 2006 employment act that was set out to protect your basic rights, terms and conditions during such times.
By law, your new business owners have an obligation to uphold the terms of your contract unless they are able to argue a justifiable (ETO) reason based on economical, technical or organisational.
If certain changes are made but can.t be justified then you may have legal grounds to challenge your new employer.
