When you need to dismiss an employee
We are here to help you.
Employees have the right not to be unfairly dismissed, so firing someone should be a last resort. It is not uncommon to find that an employer has put off handling a misconduct or capability issue because of the expense, stress and impact that comes with disciplining an employee; often this escalates and leads to other issues, that could include dismissing them. And there are other times when the problem is so serious that dismissal is more likely. You need to make sure you do it right to avoid even more issues, and that is where we come in. Our experienced team of HR professionals will guide you through the important steps you need to take to protect your business.
There with you every step of the way – so you don’t have to put off dealing with the difficult issues that cause problems in your business.
Providing you with professional HR Support when you need it
If you have an employee who is incapable of doing their job, or they are capable but unwilling, or they have committed some form of misconduct, you will need to follow a fair procedure and act reasonably. So, what does that mean for your business, particularly when there is no legal definition of “acting reasonably”?
Just as every business is different, so the disciplinary and dismissal procedures they have can be different. We look at your business set-up, culture, work environment, contractual terms and so on to help you establish the right procedures that are relevant to your business; procedures that ensure compliance with relevant legislation and best practice, and that demonstrate your business has fair processes designed to ensure your employees are not subject to a rash, unreasonable or unfair decision.
You may, of course, already have established procedures, but need pragmatic and independent support in carrying out the steps. We are with you every step of the way.
