Summary dismissal

Lawyers often indicate a summary dismissal as an ultimate remedium. Quite right because as an employee you are not only immediately deprived of salary but you are also not entitled to unemployment benefits. A summary dismissal will only hold up in court if strict criteria are met. Three in short.

Conditions summary dismissal

 

  1. There must be an urgent reason for dismissal: in general serious matters such as theft.
  2. You must be informed about the reason for a summary dismissal at once: the reason may not be vague to you.
  3. The dismissal must be given immediately: as soon as your employer knows the urgent reason he must dismiss you at once.
