Termination

Dismissal or Termination of employment at the initiative of the employer is a process where the consequence fits the conduct. It can be quick or seem slow.

The fear of legal action being taken against a small business in the form of an Unfair Dismissal or other claim is understandable. Yet ongoing inefficiencies, poor performance, misconduct, theft or discrimination are inappropriate and unacceptable.
