In this CPDCast, Stephen Levinson examines the obligation of employers to inform and consult employees in the event of a TUPE transfer, namely how employers can comply with this obligation. The obligation the podcast examines stems from Chapter III, Article 7, of Council Directive 2001/23/EC which in turn is a consolidation of Directive 77/187/EC and its subsequent amendments. The implementation of Article 7 is now contained in Regulations 13, 14 and 15 of The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (SI 2006 No. 246).
