Employment Law: Dismissals For Incapability & Other Topics

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:27:18 -0500

Incapability DismissalsContrary to popular belief 'ill health' is a potentially fair reason for dismissal since it relates to the employee's capability to perform the work that they were employed to do. However, in the context of incapability dismissals, the Employment Tribunal will scrutinise the procedures followed by the employer prior to termination, in order to determine whether the decision to dismiss was reasonable in the circumstances. A 'reasonable' employer would normally be expected to consider all the relevant medical evidence, consult with the employee and consider whether there are any steps that could be taken to assist the employee in returning to work. Employers should also be mindful of the disability discrimination legislation and the need to make reasonable adjustments.But what if the employee's ill-health was caused by the employer in the first place?
