Inevitably, organisations have to dismiss employees from time to time. The law recognises they have this right and that there are fair reasons for dismissals. So what are these reasons and what is the right procedure an employer should use to dismiss employees? What are the statutory rights employees have when faced with dismissal? Are the rules different when applied to someone in their probationary period compared with a retiree?
The consequences of dismissing employees unfairly can be significant to all involved. The costs, the disruption and the fall out can also be very substantial. This briefing will give you an insight into all of the issues that need to be considered when dismissing an employee.
