NHS reforms and the pressures facing both the local government and health markets to achieve efficiencies means that services are increasingly being delivered differently and by a range of providers. The workforce is an integral element in ensuring that such services are “fit for purpose”. Transferring undertakings, bringing services back in-house, outsourcing to new providers or moving to a new contractor will often have implications for your workforce which need to be effectively managed both for the organisations and individuals involved, in order to manage risk, avoid potential challenges and ensure a seamless service.
This session will recap on the legal framework but through case study examples and interactive discussion, explore some of the key case law developments involving the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 over the past 12 months and what this means for you in practice.
There will be an opportunity to network with peers before the session and members of the Bevan Brittan Employment Team will be available throughout the morning to discuss and answer your questions on this area of increased litigation focus.
