Fire & Rehire - Navigating the New Code of Practice

Introduction

The process of dismissing employees and offering them re-engagement on new terms as a way of managing a variation of contract has attracted a lot of controversy. It is seen by some as an imbalance of power, and by others as a necessary tool for management.

In response to the controversy the government has issued a new Code of Practice, setting out some safeguards in the ‘fire and rehire’ process.

This short webinar takes you through all that you need to know before you consider using the fire and rehire approach.
