Bringing back furloughed workers: what do you need to know?

What legal considerations do you need to make when bringing back furloughed workers? How much notice do you need to give to inform a furloughed worker of a return date? What can those workers do when on leave and what are the logistics of part-time working? What about holiday pay or the process of redundancy? We look at all of these questions in the latest podcast, featuring Paul Griffin from Norton Rose Fulbright.
