Legal Terms - dismissal procedures
In a *unfair dismissal suit, the *employment tribunal must evaluate whether the employer not only presents a reason for the firing as enumerated in the Employment Rights Act 1996 but also acted reasonably (fairly) in deeming that reason sufficient for dismissal. A crucial aspect of assessing the fairness of a dismissal is determining whether the employer adhered to a just procedure. This may entail, when applicable, a warning, a hearing, and the option for an appeal. The *Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) Code of Practice on Discipline and Grievance Policy delineates the procedures an employer should adhere to in order to ensure equitable conduct. If either party fails to adhere to the Code, the tribunal may modify any granted compensation.
