Dismissal

Human emotions can be quite fragile.  This must be taken into account when following the 3 step standard dismissal and disciplinary procedure.  As a recent case in Scotland which awarded a gay man the highest award under the relatively new Age Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations highlights, you must not make any assumptions in the dismissal process. £120,000 is a high price to pay for this lesson.

An effective dismissal process must be considered and implemented prior to employment and not during the course of the dispute.  The manner in which a business conducts itself during the termination of employment will either be a positive experience in the eyes of its remaining employees or set an awkward precedent for any future action it undertakes.  Our involvement will ensure minimum business disruption and enhance your reputation as a corporate and socially responsible employer.
