Sometimes a business owner will enter into an agreement wherein some or all of their undertakings are transferred to another business. When that happens, the employees of the business being transferred retain some of their employment rights. For example, as employees of the new business, they are entitled to the same terms and conditions of employment as they had at the original business. These rights, which are enforced through the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, also include a right to continued employment.
