Dismissal

For the attention of employers

• redundancy with notice: although it is easy to write a letter of redundancy with notice, clearly stating the notice period to be respected, think about the reason(s) you will be invoking if your employee requests to be informed. Dismissal is not something to be taken lightly. Employees have the right to know the reason(s) for which their contractual relationship is termintaed.
• dismissal with immediate effect: it is imperative that the reason(s) be stated in the letter of termination.

 

OUR ADVICE: before sending a letter of termination, make sure you have real and serious grounds. Otherwise, a wrongful termination could cost your company dearly.

Our team will be happy to advise you.

For employees

Unfortunately, you have been made redundant.

Don’t delay in reacting.

• In the case of dismissal with notice, you have 1 month from the date of notification of the letter of termination to request the reasons in writing by recorded delivery.
• For dismissal with immediate effect, you have 3 months from notification of the letter of termination
  • either to contest the reason(s) in writing by recorded delivery
  • or to apply to the relevant employment tribunal.

Once these deadlines have elapsed and you have not reacted, it will be too late.

 

OUR ADVICE: despite the shock of the termination of your contract, don’t hesitate to

ask for our support.
