In this weeks’ episode of the podcast I bring you the five potentially fair reasons for dismissing an employee. This is the second of 6 episodes that will focus on all of the key aspects of unfair dismissal, including everything you need to know to really get to grips with dismissals and what constitutes a fair dismissal.

In this episode 224 I will cover:

What the five potentially fair reasons are
An example of each of the reasons
How they are applied
Why the facts of each are important
Why swearing at work can be grounds for a fair dismissal
Who has the burden of proving the reason for the dismissal
Why the burden shifts in a claim for Automatic Unfair Dismissal
What you need to consider before dismissing an employee

Action Points

Check what your staff handbook says about gross misconduct and ensure it includes what you consider to amount to gross misconduct in your organisation.
