Mishandling executive terminations can have serious and expensive consequences for companies. Unless the correct procedures are followed,dismissal can often become protracted and costly and the results may be disastrous. Faced with the threat of litigation, human resource managers and employment lawyers need to ensure that negotiations are properly conducted and dismissal effectively handled. The Woolf Reforms directly affect this area, with implications for costs, determining relevant issues and attempts to settle claims. This book addresses the fundamental issues for those working and practising in the area: what are the grounds for dismissal?; what are the contractual implications?; what are the statutory implications?; who will effect the dismissal?
