This is an essential reference source to all aspects of termination of employment. It will prove invaluable for practitioners advising on the substantive and procedural law that must be followed if employers are to avoid unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal and breach of contract claims, and employees are to ensure that their rights are protected.

Written in clear English with minimum legalese, the book highlights common problems and ways to avoid them along with practical tips for both sides of a dispute. An accompanying CD-ROM contains a range of time-saving proforma letters, precedents and agreements. The busy high street practitioner will find Dismissals an indispensable guide, dealing with everyday issues and the more obscure points alike; whilst more experienced practitioner will find it an essential aide memoire.
