Order for re-engagement
149.—(1) An order for re-engagement is an order, on such terms as the tribunal may decide, that the complainant be engaged by the employer, or by a successor of the employer or by an associated employer, in employment comparable to that from which he was dismissed or other suitable employment.
(2) On making an order for re-engagement the tribunal shall specify the terms on which re-engagement is to take place, including—
(a)the identity of the employer,
(b)the nature of the employment,
(c)the remuneration for the employment,
(d)any amount payable by the employer in respect of any benefit which the complainant might reasonably be expected to have had but for the dismissal (including arrears of pay) for the period between the date of termination of employment and the date of re-engagement,
(e)any rights and privileges (including seniority and pension rights) which must be restored to the employee, and
(f)the date by which the order must be complied with.
(3) In calculating for the purposes of paragraph (2)(d) any amount payable by the employer, the tribunal shall take into account, so as to reduce the employer’s liability, any sums received by the complainant in respect of the period between the date of termination of employment and the date of re-engagement by way of—
(a)wages in lieu of notice or ex gratia payments paid by the employer, or
(b)remuneration paid in respect of employment with another employer,
and such other benefits as the tribunal thinks appropriate in the circumstances.
(4) Where a dismissal is treated as taking place by virtue of Article 128, references in this Article to the date of termination of employment are to the notified date of return.
