Employee dismissal – employment law
Employee dismissal – employment law
Employee dismissal can be difficult regardless of whether it is seen as fair or not under the law. Usually employers must give their employees notice that has been stated in the contract. If there is no notice period in the contract then they must follow what is stated in the labour code.
There are many reasons why an employer may let their employee go and it is seen as fair under employment law for example an employee may have let go due to conduct, inability to perform, or redundancy. If you follow proper procedures that are outlined by employment law than you neither the employer nor the employee should have any major consequences.
