The End of Fire and Rehire? | getting ready for reform
Under the proposed Employment Rights Bill (ERB), the controversial practice of fire and rehire will be significantly curtailed, especially in cases involving reductions to pay, hours, pensions, and certain other key contractual terms.
This change could dramatically alter how you manage restructures, implement contractual changes, and navigate periods of financial strain—though some flexibility will remain for changes outside the restricted areas or in genuine cases of financial crisis.
Hosted by our sister company WorkNest, this webinar features Senior Employment Law Adviser Lyndsay Gourlay who shares the current legal framework, outlines what will change under the ERB, and explores the impact this will have on organisations. Plus, what actions should you take over the next 12 months to get prepared?

Our ER team has significantly expanded its knowledge in terms of employment law since working with esphr, and we’re in a stronger position to deliver first-class support for our representations. A knowledgeable, commercially-minded and consistent point of contact at esphr is what has fostered such a positive learning environment, alongside the focused solicitor-led training.
Head of ER, Greene King PLC
The advice we used to receive was rarely commercial. Previously, we spent a lot of time, effort and budget on dealing with ER issues; now we don’t because we’re with esphr. The service has transformed the HR function and we are able to capitalise on the time saved to do the projects we knew would make a difference.
HR Director UK & Ireland, PVH
It is very rare to find someone who genuinely appreciates what we want to achieve and tailors a solution around that. Everyone at esphr is open and honest and wants to help make your working life better – this is the way all business relationships should be. I do not want to change supplier every few years.
HR Director (UK&I), Randstad UK
esphr feels like an extra member of our team and the advice offered is invaluable to us. We have a great working relationship with our personal legal advisors, the team is contactable whenever we need them. For the business, it is all about trusting the advice received, and we get that in droves!
