Disciplinary proceedings are used by employers to deal with problems involving the work or the behaviour of their staff, such as poor performance. Disciplinary action varies according to the circumstances, from a written warning to dismissal.
If you feel that your dismissal was unfair, please contact one of our specialist employment law solicitors, who will be able to help you. Unfair dismissal occurs when an employee is not given proper notice of the termination of their employment, or when the termination itself was unjustified.
You may have a case for constructive dismissal if you were forced to resign from your job because of the conduct of your employer, which must constitute a serious breach of your contract of employment.
A settlement agreement brings the relationship between employer and employee to a formal end. It records in detail any settlement that you have reached with your former employer.
