A new statutory Code of Practice on “fire and rehire” tactics is now in effect. This code introduces a 25% compensation increase for employees if employers don’t follow best practices regarding dismissal and re-engagement. It also encourages open discussions with employees and trade unions before making changes to job terms. While this code aims to enhance employee protection, its impact on business practices and flexibility remains to be seen. Employers should begin updating their contracts and policies to ensure they meet these new standards. Discover more here: https://heyor.ca/lJFFs9 #EmploymentLaw #FireAndRehire #HR #BusinessUpdates

Exciting changes are on the horizon for workers’ rights under the Labour government, including the right to “disconnect” and day-one access to sick pay. These updates will directly impact your workers’ contracts. By law, you must provide workers with an up-to-date statement of main terms on their first day of employment. This document should include all essential rights, especially those that are about to change. To keep your staff's terms and conditions (T&Cs) compliant with new HR laws, it's crucial to understand: ☑ The new contractual rights, like the ‘right to disconnect’ ☑ Current T&Cs that may soon become unlawful ☑ How to update your staff contracts Being proactive about updating HR contracts is essential. Waiting until after the laws are in effect could leave you vulnerable to legal risks. Stay ahead and ensure your contracts comply with the latest changes.
