In the recent tribunal case of
Ms. R Thomas v. Brandpath UK Ltd, Ms. Thomas successfully claimed unfair dismissal. The tribunal identified several critical errors made by Brandpath UK Ltd:
1.
Failure to Follow Proper Procedures: The company did not adhere to its own disciplinary procedures, which led to an unfair dismissal verdict.
2.
Inadequate Communication: There was a lack of clear communication regarding the reasons for Ms. Thomas's dismissal, contributing to the tribunal's decision.
3.
Lack of Documentation: Insufficient records were kept to justify the dismissal, weakening the company's defense.
Avoiding These Pitfalls:-
Adhere to Procedures: Ensure that all disciplinary actions follow your company's established procedures.
-
Communicate Clearly: Maintain open and clear communication with employees about decisions affecting them.
-
Document Everything: Keep comprehensive records of all actions and communications related to disciplinary matters.
