There must be good reason for a dismissal and the dismissal must be carried out fairly. If the employee believes they have been treated unfairly in their employment, whether they have been dismissed or not, they may take action against their employer in the form of a 'personal grievance'.
If problems do arise in an employment relationship, employees and employers can get information and guidance from the Workplace Contact Centre, freephone: 0800 20 90 20 or visit the Department of Labour.
