Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Amendments 76, 80, 81, 83 to 85 and 89 further provide that local authorities can only use fire and rehire to make restricted variations when they are experiencing financial difficulties and are under statutory intervention as a result of those difficulties. They must also show that they had no reasonable alternative.
