Why this letter is necessary
A TUPE employee representative election results letter is sent to employee representatives to inform them of the results of an election held to appoint employee representatives, as required under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE).
The TUPE employee representative election results letter typically includes information such as the names of the elected employee representatives, the number of votes each candidate received, and the total number of votes cast. The letter may also include information about any further steps that need to be taken to establish the employee representative body.
The purpose of the letter is to inform the employee representatives of the results of the election, to enable them to begin representing the interests of their constituents and engaging in the consultation process with the employer. This helps to ensure that the consultation process is conducted in a fair and transparent manner and provides evidence that the employer has complied with its legal obligations under TUPE.
Compliance notes
When a business or part of a business is transferred to a new employer, TUPE requires the employer to inform and consult with affected employees and their representatives about the transfer and any measures that the new employer plans to take in relation to their employment. The employer must also consult with any employee representatives, such as trade union representatives or elected employee representatives.
