Protect your business with Employers Direct advice

Management of an alleged case of gross misconduct generally follows the same guidelines but advice should always be taken because of the importance of the factors involved. A gross misconduct finding usually ends with dismissal without notice pay. However, recent case law has provided us with the clarification that a finding of gross misconduct will not always justify dismissal. Therefore, various factors must be taken into consideration to ensure a fair dismissal.
