Termination and Dismissal

When repeated misconduct or persistent poor performance is occurring despite previous disciplinary action, it’s time to consider termination of employment on notice. In the event of serious misconduct, dismissal without notice is justified. Follow these steps to effectively and lawfully terminate an employee.
