Re-advertising of a job

simon4amiee

Hi is there any legislation regarding advertising a job when someone was made redundant from the same post 8 months prior!

not unless its written in terms of redundancy.

After 6 months they can pretty much do whatever they want.

They can advertise the job the day after you leave really - as long as it wasn't clear before you left that the vacancy existed.

Why not,

You lose a contract requires you to reduce Staff.

You go through the process reasonable consultation and notice, no clear sign of new work even though trying hard on a number of new deals.

New contract gets signed that needs the team you just made redundant.

getmore4less is quite correct, and I don't know where the earlier poster got his/her six months figure from.

Businesses are fluid. Orders come and go. My firm lost 42 support staff and 42 lawyers recently to prepare itself for a downturn. The last of them left on Friday. They were all voluntary leavers.

However, we are already seeing an upturn in work and will likely look to hire new lawyers in the next few weeks. Such is life.

Yup - the very same job.

Unless you can find somewhere in law which says otherwise.

You can - but I can't say I would recommend rehireing the redundant role the day after a redundancy. Doing that would make it easier to argue that the redundancy was not genuine leaving a firm potentially open to a claim against them.

Whether the claim would succeed is another matter but rehiring straight away would quite likely cause some resentment which would no doubt lead to conversations with those wonderful no win no fee lawyers!

8 months gap is a whole different ball game tho...no issue there at all
