Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Layoff laws---rehiring.

Do we have to rehire an employee we laid off if work becomes avaiable? We reduced an employees hours to 20hrs a week. He has also taken on a full time job. If work comes available when he's working at his full time job, do we have the right to hire another part time employee to cover those hours?
