discipline and wrongful dismissal
An employer must conduct its performance management process so that it achieves its aim of improving an employee's performance or correcting misconduct, while at the same time ensuring that a proper record is being created if the performance or misconduct leads to a dismissal. Our group assists clients in designing an appropriate performance management process for their business and providing advice on the application of that process to individual situations.
Similarly, dismissing an employee is not a simple matter and exposes employers to considerable liability. We assist our clients by providing initial advice on whether there is cause for dismissal, structuring severance arrangements, drafting the termination documents, advising on the conduct of the dismissal meeting and responding to demand letters and claims subsequent to the dismissal.
Our experienced litigators assist clients who are involved in wrongful dismissal actions. From the initial review, to pleadings and all the way through trial, members of our group provide valuable strategic advice to, and advocacy on behalf of, our clients.
