Mergers, Acquisitions + TUPE support
Navigate the TUPE transfer process with confidence and care
Managing mergers and acquisitions comes with complexity and people are at the heart of it. Whether you’re acquiring another business or transferring services, the TUPE regulations (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment)) protect employees' rights, ensuring they transfer on the same terms and conditions.
At JourneyHR, we support businesses through the TUPE transfer process — helping you maintain continuity, stay compliant, and lead your people through change with empathy and clarity.

Common questions about the TUPE transfer process
How do I know who’s affected by TUPE?
We help you identify the individuals who fall under the scope of the TUPE regulations and clarify your legal obligations.
How do I retain my best employees if they’re impacted by TUPE?
We provide strategies to reassure and retain top talent, even when change is on the horizon.
What if I can’t afford to keep my team after the transfer?
We’ll guide you through your obligations and help you manage this scenario within the framework of the law.
Can I keep an employee who wants to transfer?
Yes, but both parties need to agree. We’ll help you explore options and manage communication.
What if the new employer doesn’t accept that TUPE applies?
We’ll support you in asserting and protecting your employees’ rights, ensuring compliance across both parties.
