I would like to know as employers what our right is in terms of dismissal of a employee for misconduct.
She is employed by three therapists and we have given her ampel verbal and written warnings for misconduct.
We want to have a final hearing with her and give her a final written warning, how long is this valid for and how do we go about dismissing her fairly?
any help would be greatly appreciated, she has been given more than a fair chance.
It is only necessary to give a final warning if your disciplinary code says so. If the offence is of a serious nature, dismissal without a final warning can occur if there is a fair disciplinary process and dismissal is deemed to be justified.
However, you should consult with an attorney - it is perhaps better to ask a third party such as an attorney to chair the enquiry if you are not certain.
