Comment: "Thankyou - it does indeed seem close enough. I think this a specific regulation in employment law in Germany and not in the UK in this form, and I'm a bit too ignorant in employment law!"

Wiederbesetzungskette = turnover
Referenz: Webster's Third College Edition: definitions 4 a) the number of workers hired to replace those who have left during a given period of time 4 b) the ratio of this to the average number of workers employed.
The whole line would translate into:
"Further, the criteria to fill open positions became more permissible (keyword: turnover)."

reoccupation chain
I just looked up "Wiederbesetzungskette" under www.google.com and found several entries for which the English translation is "reoccupation chain". You can also get a lot more information on the subject by comparing the German texts on the subject with the English translations (where available).

: "reoccupation chain" does not exist as an expression,if it does it is someone's invention rather common use. "Reoccupation" means to take over a country, building, etc. again; has nothing to do with employment, employees, etc.
