Where can information about what offences could be dismissible, and the correct process to follow, be found?
Dismissal is the final stage of the disciplinary process and would normally only apply following unsuccessful informal and formal steps providing clarity to any individual on what is required, understand mitigating circumstances and support them to achieve what is required. Very few circumstances could be considered gross misconduct, which could potentially result in the dismissal of an individual being recommended from a single disciplinary hearing under the formal process. For any action under the formal process, HR will support and guide managers as appropriate. Procedures can be found on the HR website under information for managers.
