What happens if someone is reinstated to a job but they have filled their job with someone else? I just wondered what an employer would do.

    Does this relate to a job you have got Phil? Or is it a hypothetical situation?

    It is just a hypothetical situation.

    Whatever they like - is probably the answer.

    For what reason was the person reinstated?
    Gone ... or have I?

    Say an unfair dismissal claim.

    Then the person should be reinstated to their old position. The newly appointed person should be redeployed.

    But what if there are no other jobs to put the newbie in? So the old person would have to be made redundant anyway.

    Again, hypothetically, if the new person were on a trial period with the employer, would the employer be able to terminate their contract in phil's scenario?
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Redundancy? No longer required for the needs of the business?

    It is likely that, if the employer knew that reinstatement was a possibility, they would only recruit somebody for the role on a temporary/ fixed term basis.

    That would be highly unfair.
