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.

This TUPE goodbye letter template incorporates relevant UK laws and HR standards, including those listed below:
Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE): This legislation provides protection to employees when there is a transfer of their employment from one employer to another. It ensures that their terms and conditions of employment, including any benefits and continuity of service, are preserved after the transfer. It also requires that employees be informed of the transfer and consulted on any measures that may be taken by the new employer.
Employment Rights Act 1996: This legislation outlines the basic employment rights of employees, including the right to a written statement of terms and conditions of employment, the right to a minimum notice period, and the right to not be unfairly dismissed or discriminated against.
Equality Act 2010: This legislation prohibits discrimination on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation. It is important to consider this legislation when creating a TUPE goodbye letter template to ensure that employees are not subjected to discrimination during or after the transfer.
Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992: This legislation provides protections for employees who wish to join a trade union or engage in collective bargaining. It is important to consider this legislation when creating a TUPE goodbye letter template to ensure that employees are aware of their rights to join a trade union and be represented by it during the transfer process.
