In this episode, Andrew Levy and Sarah Levy dive into the newly published draft Code of Good Practice on Dismissal, a long-anticipated shift in labor legislation. Andrew reflects on his 20-year stance against overly complex dismissal procedures and sees this as a long-overdue victory for common sense in labor law.
Key discussion points include:
