JMW regularly advise employers with regard to the dismissal of an employee and whether the dismissal is likely to fall within one of the fair reasons for dismissal as set out in the Employment Rights Act 1996.
In addition, with the introduction of the statutory dismissal, disciplinary and grievance procedure legislation (Employment Act 2002 (Dispute Resolution) Regulations 2004) the dismissal process has become more laborious for employers. If the employer fails to follow the correct procedures, the employee is entitled to bring a claim for “automatic unfair dismissal”. It is therefore imperative that employers get the process right and we help guide employers through this difficult process.
Alternatively, you may require JMW’s assistance if you are faced with a claim made against the company in the Employment Tribunal. JMW have experience of defending cases brought in the Employment Tribunal and the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
