TUPE Woolworths

My partner is a store manager at Woolworths, which went into administration last week.

If my partner's store is taken over by another high street retailer, would she be entitled to a similar job with the buying company under TUPE regulations?

I don't know anything about TUPE, other than it exists, so sorry if I'm barking up the wrong tree and if this is a stupid question.

Thanks

    Providing it's a relevant transfer within the definition of the regs then she likely will be covered, however TUPE can be complex and the outgoing business needs to be sold as a going concern.
    Don’t be a can’t, be a can.

    That is pretty good that you know it exists, many people don't!

    It is very complicated fingers crossed you'll be OK.
