Email 7: 3.3 Explanation of Employee Rights under TUPE Regulations
When you are approaching the preliminary negotiations with the neighboring hospital trust with an intention to merge two largest pharmacy operations, it is vital to know about TUPE and the rights of the employees in connection with merging. This is as stipulated in the TUPE Regulations 2006 (McMullen, 2006). TUPE is one of the legal regulations governing transfers of businesses and protecting employees while the transfer is taking place, it is vitally important to follow the regulations because failure to do so might result in legal consequences as stated in CIPD (2023).
Key principles under TUPE include:
Automatic Transfer: The employees of the operations of the pharmacy will be transferred to the new centralised pharmacy without their consent (Howart, 2015). The contracts and benefits of their organizations are still valid and the years of their service are still safe.
Protection Against Dismissals: Employees cannot be dismissed due to the transfer other than on blindly sufficient economic, technical, or organisational reason (ETO reason) (Gilmour, 2024).
Information and Consultation: It means that the current employer involving your. The current employer (your Trust) has a legal obligation to inform and consult with employees about the transfer. This case entails providing them with information on why transfers happened, how it affects their employment situation, and other modifications. Employers or management must ensure that the employee’s representatives or the unions are informed of the transfer at least one month to the dated of transfer.
Steps in the TUPE Process
Pre-Transfer Consultation: The transfer process starts with staff informing and consultation on the possible transfer (ACAS, 2025).
Due Diligence: Employers must also report to the employees concerning the transfer of their various terms and conditions, liabilities, and risk factors prevailing in any of the above situations.
The Transfer Date: Transfers occur within organizations on the agreed transfer date within the affected organizations. Their contracts are novated and pass over, and the parties carry forward all rights and responsibilities.
Post-Transfer Communication: After such transfer, the new employer (the neighboring trust in this case) is required to maintain those transferred terms and conditions.
