Course description
TUPE is arguably one of the most challenging aspects of employment law. Navigating the complexities and risks involved in the TUPE process can often leave people professionals feeling anxious and apprehensive.
This course will equip you with the confidence and knowledge to successfully manage a TUPE transfer, support your employees through the process and ensure legal obligations are met.
Created by UK employment law experts, in conjunction with CIPD, this programme takes a principles-led and evidence-based approach and uses case studies to bring the information to life. You'll learn the differences between a business transfer and a service transfer and discover the practical steps needed to manage the changes that can occur as a result of a TUPE transfer.
