Manager module
There are nearly 50,000 unfair dismissal claims a year and
it is estimated that 80% are lost because employers fail to
follow the correct procedure.
Under the new regulations1 these errors
can become even more expensive, as the courts can increase
the award by up to 50% if the proper procedures are not followed.
Managers often have little idea why
the disciplinary policy needs to be followed and the consequences
of not abiding by its processes.
This programme uses case studies to
guide managers through the legal maze so that they will effectively
and legally manage discipline and dismissal problems.
