CALL FOR EVIDENCE PUBLISHED ON DEALING WITH DISMISSAL

15 March 2012

Proposals to examine the current dismissal process have been announced by the government today with the publication of a Call for Evidence. Ministers are to seek views on whether current dismissal procedures are too onerous, too complex and whether or not there is a lack of understanding in their application. Views are also requested on the idea of compensated no-fault dismissal for micro- businesses with fewer than 10 employees. Under such a system, a business would be able to dismiss a worker from a micro-business, where no fault had been identified on the part of the employee, with the payment of a set amount of compensation.

The Policy team will be reading this document to ascertain whether member opinion is required.
