Legal Question in Employment Law in California
I am a california employer and want to rehire a long time employee that I let go earlier this year due to a downturn in business.
If I rehire, will I be required to grandfather him back to his original pay and benefits ie: vacation, PTO.
Thanks

No. California law does not require that an employee who is re-hired be paid the same amount as before, or that he or she receive the same benefits. The only exception to this rule is if there were an agreement to this effect (such as a collective bargaining agreement with a union).
