What is TUPE - Transfer of Undertakings?

UK regulations that protect employees when the business they work for (or a service they deliver) transfers to a new employer, automatically moving their employment contracts, terms, and continuity of service to the incoming employer.

Why it matters in hiring

TUPE - Transfer of Undertakings comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
