Fire and Rehire, a new Code of Practice
In one of the final Acts of the Conservative government, a Code of Practice on dismissal and re-engagement (the Code) more commonly known as “fire and rehire” was passed through Parliament and came into effect on 18 July 2024. This is a statutory code which must be taken into account but it is nowhere near as robust as the Labour Party would like (see our review of the 2024 manifesto here), we can therefore, expect to see further changes to the fire and rehire rules.

In March 2022, the Government announced plans to introduce a law to manage tipping and ensure that workers are receiving the fruits of their labour.

So what does the new law say and how will employers be affected?
