Chapter 12

Timescale for consultation under TUPE



[ch 12: page 470]

There is no minimum or fixed consultation period under TUPE. The employer must consider any representations made and reply, with reasons for objection where appropriate (regulation 13(6), TUPE). Most importantly, consultation must be meaningful. The case examples on meaningful consultation in Chapter 11: Redundancy: Collective consultation, are equally relevant here.
