NCVO WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ‘TUPE’: TRANSFERRING EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS TO AND FROM YOUR ORGANISATION
Revised January 2012
1. Introduction
In the voluntary sector, funding for particular projects is often of limited duration. At the end of the funding period, the funding may be renewed, may cease, or the funding and responsibility for the project may pass to another organisation.
Third sector organisations may also change in other ways. For example, one organisation may be taken over by another, or two organisations with similar charitable objectives may merge.
In situations where the transfer of a project, organisation or part of an organisation takes place, The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (‘TUPE’) may apply.
