Employment Bite | The Employment Rights Bill – fire and re-hire

06 February 2025

The Employment Rights Bill proposes significant reforms to workplace protections, including new restrictions on "fire and re-hire," where employers dismiss workers and offer them new contracts, normally on less favourable terms. In the second part of our Employment Bite series unpacking the Bill, London employment lawyers Katharine Savage and Imtiyaz Chowdhury discuss the proposed ban on fire and re-hire, its potential impact on businesses, and what employers need to know moving forward.

Authored by Katharine Savage, Imtiyaz Chowdhury, and Jo Broadbent.
