ER 18 Dismissal: Fair and unfair - a guide for employers

Summary:

This booklet explains in what circumstances a dismissal may be considered 'fair' or 'unfair' and what kind of procedures an employer should adopt to conform with the legal requirements. It is recognised that the procedure that is appropriate in a large firm may not be appropriate or practicable in the case of a much smaller firm. But there are some basic features that all firms can adopt and which will prevent unnecessary problems. The booklet concentrates on these.
