What is the difference between dismissal with notice and without notice?
A dismissal with the appropriate notice is a contractually lawful dismissal.In other words the notification of dismissal will specify when the dismissal takes effect. If your contract says that you are entitled to a months notice then the dismissal will normally become effective a month from the date on which you are told that your contract is being terminated. A dismissal without the appropriate notice is a wrongful dismissal (in other words it is a breach of contract), unless it is in response to the employee’s gross misconduct. The contract of employment may provide for a payment in lieu of notice, or an employee may voluntarily waive notice and accept payment in lieu. Dismissal without notice, often called ‘summary dismissal’, in response to gross misconduct, should only take place after an investigation and disciplinary hearing. The ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures recommends that employers should tell their employees what constitutes gross misconduct
