Dismissal, Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures

All employers are legally required to specify and follow a minimum dismissal, disciplinary and grievance procedure.  Failure to comply will normally result in a dismissal being found to be unfair by an Employment Tribunal and an employer having to pay up to 50% more compensation.

We can make sure your business has the correct procedures in place, that you understand them, know how to follow them and avoid unwanted claims.

Our team has extensive experience of dealing with disciplinary and dismissal matters, ranging from disciplining employees for misconduct issues such as poor performance, poor attendance and disobedience to advising on dismissing employees for gross misconduct for dishonesty, violence or theft.

Where an employer is faced with an issue of misconduct it is very important that it deals with the matter in a fair and reasonable manner and complies with the procedures.

We specialise in:
  • Preparing dismissal, disciplinary and grievance procedures
  • Advising on how to deal with employees' misconduct
  • Dealing with employee grievances
  • Handling dismissals
