Redundancy

• Are you facing a need to discipline an employee?
• Must you consider dismissal whether for economic or disciplinary reasons?
• Are you aware of their rights under employment law?
• Are you aware of your obligations as an employer?
• How familiar are you with ACAS procedures?
• Can you avoid being taken to an Employment Tribunal?
• Could you properly represent yourself at Tribunal or would you need to rely on what could be expensive legal representation?

Dealing with a need to dismiss someone is one of the most difficult situations that can face an employer. There is a need to deal appropriately with a situation for the good of the business but a parallel need to deal sensitively with an issue that could be traumatic for the individuals concerned.

What we do:

• We provide support and guidance to employers through dealing with grievances through to any final decision to dismiss.
• If dismissal is being considered we can provide support throughout the process.
• We can provide benchmarked procedures in accordance with ACAS best practice that afford protection against a complaint to Tribunal.
• If an Employment Tribunal is scheduled we can support an employer at all stages through arbitration, conciliation and, if necessary at a Tribunal hearing.
