Misconduct is never acceptable in the workplace and naturally, no employer should have to retain an employee who is guilty of misconduct. However, many employers still find themselves on the wrong side of the law and are faced with an Industrial Court award against them. During this session, the speaker will explore the acceptable grounds for dismissal, the process that should be undertaken and steps to mitigate the risks of an unjust dismissal finding.
