TUPE Information and Consultation Letters Pack

About this document

What it’s for

When a business, part of a business or a service contract changes hands, the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) usually transfer the staff automatically and impose information and consultation duties on both employers. This pack gives you the letters and checklists for both the outgoing (transferor) and incoming (transferee) employer.

When to use it

  • When selling or buying a business or part of one as a going concern (asset sale)
  • When outsourcing, insourcing or changing contractors for a service
  • Not usually needed for a share sale, where the employer does not change

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Part 1 – Timeline checklist
  • Letter A – Information to employee representatives (transferor)
  • Letter B – Transferee’s notification of measures
  • Part 2 – Employee liability information checklist
  • Letter C – Letter to transferring employee

How to complete it

  • Agree the timetable with the other employer early
  • Elect or identify employee representatives (or, for employers with fewer than 10 employees where none exist, inform and consult employees directly)
  • Send the employee liability information at least 28 days before the transfer

Key points to check

  • Failure to inform and consult can lead to awards of up to 13 weeks’ pay per affected employee
  • Dismissals because of the transfer are automatically unfair unless there is an economic, technical or organisational reason entailing changes in the workforce – take advice

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
