An employee who is accused of gross misconduct may have been involved in an incident involving theft, physical violence, gross negligence, or abuse of their position.
In this scenario, following the conclusion of an internal investigation, an employer can dismiss the employee with immediate effect as long as you have followed a fair procedure. The investigation must give the employee a chance to respond to any allegations against them before an employer can decide to dismiss them.
If you employ or manage staff and you believe one of your employees has been involved in a gross misconduct situation, speak to Employer Advice for bespoke advice on how to handle the disciplinary or dismissal, tailored to business owners and employers.
