Article summary

The Department for Business and Trade has updated the statutory Code of Practice on Dismissal and Re-engagement which came into force on 18 July 2024. Section 52 of the guidance now further states 'the employer should ensure that the only terms which are changed are those which have been subject to the information-sharing and consultation process, and should not use this as an opportunity to make any further changes.' which was previously omitted in error. Other minor amendments have been made throughout the document.
