Without the use of HR & Compliance Centre, it would have cost us a lot of money in terms of needing to source legal assistance to ensure that the policies are legally binding and fully up to date.

Policy of the week

Our Varying terms and conditions procedure has been reviewed and updated to take account of the new statutory "fire and rehire" code of practice, which took effect on 18 July 2024. In particular, the policy wording makes it clearer than ever that dismissal and re-engagement should always be treated as a last resort and occur only after the employer has engaged in genuine and meaningful consultation, either directly with affected employees or through their representatives. In line with the new code, our notes supporting the policy remind employers that they should contact Acas for advice prior to raising the prospect of dismissal and re-engagement with an employee.
