Outsourcing Agreements

Outsourcing agreements are essential for identifying assets and employees involved, defining the service to be provided, and setting out expected service levels. A key element in an outsourcing project is staff. Employees wholly or mainly employed in the function to be outsourced will automatically transfer from your business to that of the outsourced service provider under TUPE (the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations). Failure to comply with TUPE can lead to sizeable employee claims.
