when the business of a group company is transferred to an undertaking outside the group, the European Acquired Rights Directive (and therefore the British TUPE regulations which implement that Directive in Great Britain) can cover employees who work for that company even if they are technically employed by another company in the group.

For relevant general notes go to Transfer of business or undertaking/employees to whom the TUPE regs apply and/or to Transfer of business or undertaking/undertakings to which the TUPE regs apply .
