TUPE Experience

Once a contract is agreed upon, we put the wheels in motion and remove the clients’ complete headache. We contact the current contractor and ensure a smooth TUPE and transfer.

SMS is specialists in the field of TUPE due to 20 plus years of experience and having our legal team support onboard. This allows us to cover any grey areas and support our teams and clients to ensure the best outcome and, more importantly, that the transferees are supported and understand their rights.

The Transfer of undertakings (Protection of employment) came into place to ensure employees job roles are safeguarded should a contract be transferred from one supplier to another.

SMS takes all the worry away from you from the minute you have agreed on your new proposal/contract with SMS.
SMS gets to work and takes care of all the requirements with an expert step by step guide to ensure a smooth transition.

We also offer support if a business needs to restructure, remove hours, or move location; there are many reasons why a company has sometimes to reduce hours. We can support you under the TUPE law with the restructure.
