reemployment

Getting hired again

Reemployment is the act of hiring someone back or being hired again after a period of unemployment or separation from work.

The term appears frequently in government contexts—unemployment benefits, job training programs, and labor statistics: The state's reemployment assistance program helped displaced workers find new positions.

It can also refer to an employer rehiring a former employee: His reemployment came six months after the layoffs.
