Playing with numbers: TUPE special issue

It's been around for 24 years (nearly 100 if you're picky!), there's endless case law to guide us, and yet we still don't have a clue what we're doing when TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment Regulations) applies.

But when does it apply? There's never a straightforward answer - and employers would simply be wasting their time in looking to case law to guide them. Because whatever your individual circumstances, some findings in similar cases will indicate that TUPE does apply, while others will state that it doesn't!

In this issue...

Legal calendar
Legislative developments, consultations, conferences, training, publications and important diary dates for the six months ahead.

Letters
Workplace Law Magazine readers share their thoughts on legal issues affecting their businesses.

Playing with numbers
New employment law taking effect this April, with a special focus on the new TUPE regulations.

Slipper slope
It's amazing how little people know about the DDA, says David Sharp.

Mind your own business
Open-minded employers might find employees have some good advice to offer, says Lisa Clarke.

Preparing for action
Workplace Law's 6th Annual Facilities Management Legal Update Conference gave delegates a 20-point action plan for 2005.

Breaking the news
Employers can no longer shy away from their duties to consult in a redundancy situation.

Identity crisis?
How will the SIA's licensing regime affect security?

Dilemma
Is there ever a place for alcohol at work?

Case law
Important cases breaking the news this month, with comment from the legal experts.

Technical update
In-depth legal guidance on pension rights, religion at work and age discrimination.

Clinic
Our panel of legal experts answer your management queries.

Analysis
