What is a TUPE confirmation of proposed measures to employees letter?

In a TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings) transfer, it is common practice to issue a confirmation of measures letter to both affected employees and their representatives. This ensures that all parties involved are aware of the proposed measures and have an opportunity to review and provide feedback or raise any concerns. By including both employees and their representatives, such as trade unions or employee representatives, you can maintain transparency and facilitate effective communication throughout the transfer process. It is important to consult and engage with all relevant stakeholders to ensure a fair and inclusive approach during a TUPE transfer.

The purpose of a TUPE confirmation of proposed measures to employees letter is to inform employees about the specific measures that will be implemented during a transfer of undertakings (TUPE) process. This letter aims to provide clarity, transparency, and ensure that employees are aware of any changes that will affect their employment rights, benefits, or working conditions.
