TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings)

In recruiter context

If your role is TUPE'd, the new employer must inherit your existing terms and continuity of service — they can't quietly cut your salary or holiday allowance. Common in outsourcing, contract changes, and acquisitions. As an employee, your rights stay protected; as a job-seeker, TUPE'd transitions can be a useful career step but ask hard questions about the buyer's culture and longer-term plan.
