Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills pursuant to his autumn statement of 29 November 2011, Official Report, column 808, what representations he received about changes to Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations before making his autumn statement.
- Answer
-
As part of my ongoing dialogue with business some have raised concerns that the current Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations gold-plate the acquired rights directive and are overly bureaucratic. I have also had formal representations from business concerning the implementation of the directive in other member states. Recognising that this is a complex area of legislation I have launched a call for evidence to gather views from a wide range of stakeholders in considering the case for change.
