Since the revised Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) were introduced in April 2006, UK employers and their advisers have been grappling with the consequences for terms and conditions of employment, pensions provision, and insolvencies. The TUPE regulations introduced a number of key UK reforms, including: extending the scope of the TUPE regime to "service provision changes" (i.e. contracting-out) . clarification of the definition of 'a relevant transfer' . determining key issues relating to transfer dismissals and changes to terms and conditions . clearer pensions obligations . strengthened consultation rights . the widening of the application of TUPE where the transferor employer is insolvent. This second edition provides a guide to the TUPE Regulations 2006, first setting them in the context of the existing TUPE protections. It explores the practical issues to which these have given rise and some of the controversies they have created since they came into force. The book examines the impact of European law on this area, as well as looking at trade union action in the UK in this context. It is an ideal guide for employers and their advisers, and it is an invaluable reference work for economists, HR managers, policy-makers, academics, and students.

John Jacob Astor. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Andrew Carnegie. John D. Rockefeller. Henry Ford. Joseph P. Kennedy. Even today, long after their deaths, the names of these six men continue to be associated with wealth and power. When they were alive, they dominated their worlds as few men had done before, and few have done since. These are the life stories of six of the richest men who ever lived in America. Their lives offer us windows into ways of life for over two centuries that most of us can only imagine - an opportunity to glimpse times when laws, attitudes, prejudices, and opportunities were very different from today. Their achievements - financial, political, and social - continue to affect us to this day, for good or ill. Additionally, their mistakes still offer important lessons about the acquisition, use, and abuse of wealth and power. And had they not lived, the history of America - and the world - might have been very different indeed.

In the UK, a cascade of Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations/TUPE cases - notably and centrally upon the service provision change, as well as the subsequent enactment of the Collective Redundancies and the TUPE (Amendment) Regulations 2013 by the UK government - have made necessary this fourth edition of TUPE: Law & Practice. The new 2013 Amendment Regulations, in force from January 2014, are intended to clarify the issues raised by recent cases and also to reduce the burdens on employers of small enterprises in the UK. This guide provides analysis of: the scope to "service provision changes" (i.e. outsourcing/contracting-out and in), as well as clarification of the Regulation 3 * key changes relating to transfer dismissals and changes to terms and conditions * pensions obligations under TUPE * clarified 'joint' consultation rights * the confusing application of TUPE where the transferor is insolvent. Lawyers, politicians, policymakers, HR practitioners, as well as academics, will find that this book brings them up to speed on TUPE. This book aims to keep pace with these changes, providing practical advice and cutting edge analysis.

Bess of Hardwick: An Elizabethan Tycoon

Community & Culture

Hetty Howland Green (1834-1916), born Hetty Howland Robinson, and known in her later years as "The Witch of Wall Street", was born in the whaling town of New Bedford, Massachusetts to Quaker parents. This biography charts Hetty Green's extraordinary ascent up the pyramid of wealth to a point where, in the earliest years of the twentieth century, she was being identified as the richest woman in America. The first in a series of brief biographies of significant tycoons, this is an insight into the life and methods of one of the earliest and most influential business women in the US. It examines the source of her wealth, and her method of building upon that. It also profiles those who helped or thwarted her along the way.
