Business transfers, outsourcing, being sold off, privatised – whatever the context - TUPE transfers can be one of the most testing, confusing and stressful areas of business activity for employers and employees from all sectors.

2016 brought the usual changes to employment law that affected every workplace such as the introduction of the National Living Wage, a significant change for employers. 2017 saw the introduction of Gender pay gap reporting for those employing over 250 staff.
