Right or wrong, in New Zealand mass layoffs followed by mass hirings would get you a serious fine with each employee receiving payment for backpay and reimbursed for hurt and humiliation. You can lay off people legitimately but then can't go and rehire for a reasonable amount of time and without good reasons.

Here, if you want to lay out >N (I don't remember the exact number but N will be around ten or twenty) people, you MUST go to the "employment office" and explain the reason FIRST. A routine check is then the normal practice within a year or so and if they find out you picked up people for the same job, you sure get fined, no matter if for higher or lower salary.

To be honest, I don't know if this is good or bad.

And a new "employment codex" (law) is under construction and public debate, things are getting rather strange now...
