Q: An employee has recently given me a vulgar letter of resignation underlining a principle cause for her resigning. I have already written to her accepting her resignation and addressing some of her concerns. Was this the right decision?
A: A better solution would have been first to ask the employee to clarify whether they were resigning on notice or with immediate effect. You should advise your employee in a follow-up letter that she has the right to raise a grievance.
I would like to dismiss my employee but would like to verify whether this is acceptable to do so. I previously handed her a written warning 7 months ago to discuss concerns regarding health and safety, stock checks and dates, fire alarm procedures and failure to follow the area manager’s instructions. I have warned her that this could result in a dismissal. Is it okay to proceed to a dismissal?
