The Situation

A specialist legal services business in the North West with 12 staff, facing a full team transfer to a new organisation under TUPE regulations.

They'd never been through a TUPE transfer and had no idea where to start, or what getting it wrong might cost them. And TUPE doesn't leave much room for error. Get the consultation or the timing wrong and you're looking at automatic unfair dismissal claims across the whole team.

With 12 people's jobs riding on it, they wanted someone who'd done this before to take it on.

What DaisyHR Did

We took them through the whole thing, start to finish:

Explained what the law actually required, in plain English

Ran the formal consultation with all 12 employees

Drafted the new contracts for the organisation taking them on

Kept on top of every legal deadline TUPE throws at you

Kept the directors in the loop the whole way, with no nasty surprises

Everyone moved across exactly as they should have.

The Outcome

A Clean Transfer

The whole thing completed on schedule, exactly as planned.

Terms Protected

All 12 employees moved across with their existing terms intact.

Risk Removed

No automatic unfair dismissal claims — the big risk that had been hanging over the whole thing.

Plain-English Guidance

The directors knew what was going on at every stage and never felt out of their depth.

What the Client Said

"We'd never been through a TUPE transfer and the risk frightened us. DaisyHR explained it in language we actually understood, managed the whole consultation, and got all 12 of our people across without a single problem. We couldn't have done it without them."
