In the latest episode of our podcast, Matthew Ramsey delves into a major Supreme Court decision regarding Tesco's dismissal and re-engagement practices, exploring the legal implications of “firing and rehiring” and its impact on employment contracts.

He covers:

  • Tesco's 2007 agreement offering “retained pay” as a permanent contractual term;
  • the Supreme Court ruling barring Tesco from dismissing employees to remove this benefit; and
  • legal implications for employers using dismissal to change contract terms.
