Dismissals in relation to other contractual changes, such as location and job role, will be subject to ordinary unfair dismissal rules, with enhanced protections to ensure that employers meaningfully consult and negotiate with employees when doing so. This should include consultation with trade union representatives where there is a recognised trade union. These changes have been made to strike the right balance between protecting employees against unconscionable “fire and rehire” practices and giving employers the flexibility they need to operate effectively.
