This bill would make it illegal for an employer to dismiss an employee and then re-hire them in order to reduce the employee's terms and conditions of employment. It aims to stop this tactic from weakening workers' pay, hours and benefits. It also closes a loophole that could be used to bypass protections for workers.
The bill had its first reading in November 2020 and is now at the 2nd reading in the Commons.
