Dismissal and Redundancy 1.4.1
Dismissal - means a worker is told to leave the job because their behaviour is unsatisfactory or they have repeatedly failed to work to the required standard. In everyday language, they are sacked.
Redundancy - occurs when a worker is told to leave the job because their skills are no longer of use to the organisation.
A dismissal has to be fair and correct procedures must be followed. A summary dismissal occurs when an employee is dismissed instantly, without notice or pay in lieu of notice, usually because of gross misconduct (e.g. theft, fraud or violence)
Redundancy is not the fault of the employee. It may happen for many reasons e.g. mergers and takeovers may mean fewer people are required, the business may be failing or automation may mean less labour is needed. Redundancy can be voluntary or compulsory.The right procedures must always be followed. The position no longer exists and therefor the business legally is unable to recruit a replacement.
