Reinstatement is central to many proposals of statuto y reform providing protection against wrongful dismissal for at‐will employees. This paper discusses the results of an empirical study of the post‐reinstatement experience of such rehired employees in Quebec. The Canadian experience demonstrates both the signijicant drawbacks to and the unique merits of reinstatement as a form of protection for nonunion employees.
