Service contracts and staff transfers guidelines
This guidance outlines the Council's approach to managing staff transfers under service contracts, in line with the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE). It ensures that employees' terms and conditions are preserved when services are outsourced, insourced, or retendered. The document explains how to identify a relevant transfer, determine which employees are assigned to the undertaking, and manage objections to transfer. It also details obligations for consultation, the provision of employee liability information, and the handling of pensions.
