HR strategy

Getting fired is not the end of your career, but it may have some short-term consequences.

Proper procedure and adherence to legal guidelines are critical when sacking an employee.

Depending on your jurisdiction, employers may be able to dismiss someone within 2 years under certain conditions.

Many companies have a progressive discipline policy, with multiple warnings before dismissal.

Dismissal can come with disadvantages like loss of benefits, reduced job prospects, and legal repercussions.

Reasons for dismissal often include misconduct, poor performance, redundancy, and breach of contract.

Employers are usually required to provide a set notice period for dismissals, which varies by law.

Some jurisdictions allow employers to sack employees without prior warning, depending on the situation.

In most cases, dismissal is permanent, although there may be options for reinstatement under certain conditions.

If you get fired, it’s important to review your rights and consider appealing if the dismissal was unfair.
