Disciplinary & Dismissal

Are you:

Thinking about dismissing an employee who is currently on probation?
Worried about a disciplinary situation?
Concerned you are not following proper procedures?
Concerned that an employee will argue that you and other members of the disciplinary panel are biased?
Worried that employees seem to have more rights these days than employers?

Disciplinary & Dismissal Procedure

Most companies who lose an unfair dismissals case do so because they fail to follow proper procedures.

Under Irish employment legislation, all dismissals are deemed to be unfair. It is up to the employer prove that they were not. The burden of proof is on the employer to prove it was justified in dismissing an employee.
