TUPE revisited

Over Xmas there was some news regarding TUPE. Here is a quick summary of what on earth TUPE is, as I doubt many people know.

TUPE - a piece of British legislation that attempts to keep things fair when 2 companies fallout and give the contract to someone new.

Anyway, given the importance of it (as it affects people's jobs) when did they have the first proper meeting about it? Yep, the 19th Dec, when most people were not here.

Guys,

Sorry for the short notice.
The EXIT team have agreed to attend Toxania tomorrow to give staff a briefing on the current situation regarding HR/TUPE.
The briefing is open to anyone wishing to attend, naturally the overall TUPE scope will be for people only engaged on "the contract".

The meeting is at 10:30 in the Board Room, and expect to last 1h15mins.

Hi X,

Happy New Year.

Seeing as this meeting was held when many people were on holiday for Christmas, can you or the exit team provide the minutes of the meeting.
Thanks,

Mike

Mike,
I couldn't attend also!

I'll see what I can do……do you have a list of non-attendees?

So nice to see that the "exit manager", X, responsible for seeing that this piece of Government legislation is done correctly has his priorities set.
