Practical TUPE for employers

Like it or not, almost every business is affected at some time or another by TUPE. Many of the delegates that have attended HR Exchange events in the past have recognised this and experienced the problems that can arise. As a result, we have been asked to cover the subject and shed some light on what is always regarded as an extremely complex topic.

When it relates to purchasing part of or all of a business, granting or taking over a lease of premises and operating the same business from those premises, outsourcing, winning and/or losing tenders, insourcing or selling on, the TUPE Regulation creates obligations arising in all these commercial activities. Failure to follow the rules and obligations in connection with the transfer of employment rights and the information and consultation obligations can be extremely costly.

With this in mind, we are holding a seminar addressing these issues. The general legal principles will be discussed and we will collectively work through a number of examples of common problems that are regularly encountered.

The event will then conclude with our usual employment law update.

We do hope you are able to join us and we look forward to seeing you at the event. Numbers are limited so make sure you reserve a space by filling in our booking form below.

By Bus
Brockholes is about caring for the natural world and for the environment.  One way of protecting that environment is to reduce your carbon footprint so why not come to Brockholes by frequent local bus and on foot, enjoying an easy, level walk along the Ribble of less than a mile – about 20 minutes – to the reserve entrance.

If you are coming from Preston Bus Station catch either Stagecoach-in-Lancashire bus 59 or Transdev Lancashire United  Ribble Valley Express service X80/280 and alight at the Tickled Trout Motel, just before the M6 junction.

In the other direction Bus 59 provides a direct service from Blackburn or Accrington (half hourly weekdays, hourly Sundays) whilst the Lancashire United Ribble Valley Express X80/280 serves Skipton, Barnoldswick, Clitheroe and Whalley, (connections from Burnley). hourly on weekdays, two hourly on Sundays.  For downloadable X80/280 timetables log onto www.lancashirebus.co.uk.

If you are coming from Preston, alight at the bus stop at the Tickled Trout and walk back over the river bridge, taking the first track on the right by a metal crash barrier fence. Walk 50 metres along the track, before going through the metal kissing gate on the right which leads onto the cycle track, now the Guild Wheel Cycle Way.

If coming from the Blackburn or Clitheroe direction, alight at the first bus stop past the M6 which is the Tickled Trout. Either cross the A59 carefully at the refuge, turning left to cross the river bridge to the track on the right, or cross the river bridge to locate steps leading to an underpass, left, under the A59 which joins the cycle path as below.

Follow this level tarmac track which soon goes alongside the river and under the concrete arches of the slip roads, motorway and along the vehicle access road to the main entrance to the reserve.  You can follow this drive to the Visitor Centre, but a metal kissing gate on the left 20 metres before the entrance gives access to a traffic free walking route parallel to the drive which lead to the Centre.
