Re-employment is when a previously employed individual returns for a second round of employment. Eligibility is based on previous work record and local regulations. A new employee contract may be required, and the employee may need to submit new identification and tax forms.
Re-employment is a status where an individual who was previously employed is allowed to return for a second round of employment. In most cases, this second round will require the development of a new employee contract that replaces the original one. Most companies and other organizations that hire employees have specific guidelines that apply to the re-employment process, with local and national regulations on employment eligibility helping to shape the shape and scope of these processes.
The term is applied in a number of different scenarios, often based on local custom. In some industries, re-employment occurs when an individual who has been laid off from their original position is recalled to active duty by their employer. In this case, the length of the waiver period is generally irrelevant. Even if the employee is laid off for a period of five years, the activity recall is still seen as a re-employment rather than a new hire.
More often than not, redeployment involves hiring an individual who was once an employee but has left the organization for some reason. The reason for the original termination of employment may have been due to the employee’s termination or because the company took steps to terminate the tenure by dismissing the employee because of his actions at work. An employee may also be laid off due to workforce cutbacks that necessitate the elimination of their position.
To determine eligibility for re-employment, the employer will generally review the individual’s previous work record, including the reasons why that individual originally left the business. In situations where the work record indicates a favorable term of service and the employee leaves on good terms, the chances of re-employment are generally very good. If the previous work record is found to be below average, leading to termination of employment by the employer, the possibilities for re-employment are considerably less.
Depending on local laws and employment policies and procedures, there is a very good chance that the reinstatement process will require the employee to review and sign a new employment contract. It is also likely that the rehired employee will be required to submit new identification for their employee file, as well as new tax forms that provide the employer with the necessary data to correctly calculate withholding tax. There is also often a period when the rehired employee is caught up in any changes in policy or procedure that may have applied from previous employment. Some companies may require the employee to attend orientation sessions along with all entry-level employees joining the business.
