TUPE is an acronym for the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. The rules aim to protect employees if the business they work for changes hands. 

This guide gives an overview of the process for managing TUPE transfers. The CIPD employment law page on TUPE offers information on the legislation.

This guide also covers related issues such as pensions, redundancies and objections to transfer.
