Dismissal and removal from role

Good employment-relations practice where a role may end.

Ending a role should follow the authority and procedure applicable to that role. The organisation should identify whether the issue is misconduct, capability, probation, redundancy-equivalent organisational change, loss of eligibility or another lawful ground.

A worker should normally understand the case they must answer and receive a reasoned decision. Where the governing rules provide a review or appeal, the outcome should explain it.

Acas can help parties explore settlement of an eligible dispute, but Acas does not act for either side and does not overturn an employer or tribunal decision.
