Changes to European employment legislation could make it more applicable to outsourcing contracts, according to lawyers.
The new Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations - know as Tupe - were updated in April this year, and will bring in changes for employers and outsourcers, according to law firm Osborne Clarke.
James Mullock partner at the law firm explained: "The law has been around since the early 1980s so it's not new. At a European level there has been a new directive that has clarified some parts and makes it more likely that it will apply to offshore outsourcing.
"If you are a European company this is something that you need to consider."
