Rehire policy

Rehire policy for employees - the purpose and intent

At our organization, we value the experience and trust built with our former employees. Recognizing the potential benefits and efficiencies in rehiring familiar talent, we have established an Employee Rehire Policy. This policy provides guidelines for considering former employees for new roles within the company.

‍

Scope of rehire policy

The Rehire Policy is applicable to employees who have previously left the organization on a permanent basis. The policy bars employees who are currently on extended leaves like medical, maternal, parental, or long-term leave.

‍

Eligibility for rehire in your rehiring policy

The former employees of the organization are eligible based on this rehire policy and No former employee will be prohibited from applying for a position by this policy. 

‍

However, the circumstances under which a former employee may be considered for rehire will be outlined.

‍

For rehire consideration, it is stipulated that former employees should have departed from the company due to one of the following reasons:

• Voluntary resignation
• Company-initiated layoffs
• Completion of a contractual period
• Termination not related to violation of company policies, or illegal/unethical conduct

‍

In the case of completion of the contractual period, the employees can ask for the renewal of their contract and it shall be considered.
