TUPE - a union rep’s guide to using the law

Chapter 1

TUPE and insolvency

[ch 1: page 11]

Where an employer is insolvent, TUPE makes it easier for employment contracts to be changed, as long as an insolvency practitioner has been appointed before the changes are made and the changes are intended to preserve jobs. Strict rules must be followed. See Chapter 8.
