Fire and Rehire: Changing Contracts Lawfully

Wishlist Share

About Course

Employers sometimes need to change employees’ terms and conditions. This course explains how to do it lawfully: seeking agreement, consulting properly, the statutory Code of Practice on dismissal and re-engagement, and the planned Employment Rights Act 2025 changes that will make most “fire and rehire” dismissals automatically unfair.
