A TUPE goodbye letter is used to inform an employee that their employment will transfer to a new employer as a result of a Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) transfer.
The letter typically includes details of the transfer, such as the date on which it will take effect, the identity of the new employer, and any changes to the terms and conditions of employment that will result from the transfer. The letter may also include information about the rights of the employee under TUPE, including the right to transfer to the new employer on the same terms and conditions of employment as before the transfer.
The purpose of the TUPE goodbye letter is to ensure that the employee is aware of the transfer and to provide them with all the necessary information they need to understand the implications of the transfer on their employment. The letter may also serve as a way for the employer to express their gratitude for the employee's contributions to the business and to wish them well in their new employment.
