This checklist provides guidance to in-house counsel, private practice lawyers and human resources professionals working in England, Wales and Scotland (GB) on the issues to take into account when considering a ‘fire and rehire’ exercise (also known as ‘dismiss and rehire’ or ‘dismiss and re-engage’), including the requirements of the statutory code on fire and rehire. This checklist does not apply to Northern Ireland, where employment law is devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly.
