A request for information about TUPE measures letter requests information about any measures that the outgoing employer has taken or plans to take in relation to the employees who are affected by the transfer. It is sent by the incoming employer to the outgoing employer as required under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE).
The measures can include changes to terms and conditions of employment, redundancies, or any other significant changes that may affect the transferred employees. The incoming employer is required to obtain this information to assess the potential impact of the transfer on the employees and to comply with their obligations under TUPE.
The purpose of the letter is to ensure that the incoming employer has access to all the necessary information about the measures that the outgoing employer has taken or plans to take in relation to the transferred employees. It also helps to ensure that the transfer of employees is conducted in a fair and transparent manner and provides evidence that both employers have complied with their legal obligations under TUPE.
