TUPE FAQS
What are my key responsibilities as an employer during a TUPE transfer?
Employers must inform and consult with affected employees, ensure the correct transfer of employment contracts, and maintain continuity of service for transferring staff. Compliance with these requirements is essential to avoid legal disputes.
How can I manage employee concerns and resistance to a TUPE transfer?
Open and transparent communication is crucial. vivoHR can help businesses create clear messaging, hold effective consultations, and address employee concerns to ensure a smoother transition.

This is complex and requires careful consideration. vivoHR can provide expert guidance on navigating such adjustments while remaining compliant.
