Publisher note: Merseytravel considers that the Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment Regulations (“TUPE”) may potentially apply on the basis that there is an organised grouping of employees, dedicated to providing these services under the current arrangements. It is the responsibility of the service provider to take their own advice and consider whether TUPE is likely to apply.
