An employer will usually institute a formal disciplinary process in cases where an employee has committed a serious breach of their contract, or where a resolution cannot be found informally to a problem.
Poor quality of work, constant lateness, not turning up for work, turning up drunk for work, or theft would all constitute serious breaches of contract.
If an employee is legally sacked for a good reason, this is known as fair dismissal. If they are sacked for no good reason, this is unfair dismissal (and will lead to compensation plus damages).
• Remember our discussions about the profitability of the company being the number one priority…… Redundancy – this is a ‘fair dismissal’, due to the fact that the position occupied no longer exists.
• Hard HRM – manage staff, focusing on cost cutting and utilizing part-time staff, temporary contracts, and outsourcing, for maximum flexibility
• Soft HRM – focus on maximizing the motivation and output of your core staff to increase profitability (Mayo, Maslow and Herzberg followers will use this)
