Welcome to The Work Couch, RPC's recently launched podcast that covers everything employment.

In our third episode and part one of our mini-series on TUPE (transfer of undertakings and protection of employment), we explore why TUPE matters to businesses and their people; the circumstances in which a TUPE transfer can arise; and how the law protects employees who are affected by a business transfer.

Ellie Gelder talks to RPC's resident TUPE experts Patrick Brodie and Kelly Thomson about:

• What TUPE means and its fundamental purpose;
• The types of business transfer that will come within the scope of the law on TUPE and how to identify a "relevant" transfer;
• How TUPE applies to service provision changes, including outsourcing and insourcing;
• Potential liabilities where TUPE obligations are breached and areas for dispute;
• The practicalities of engaging with the workforce and the importance of timing; and
• The extent to which Brexit may impact on EU-derived TUPE legislation.

All information is correct at the time of recording.
