Misconduct Notice Of Dismissal

The Notice of Dismissal in respect of Misconduct is used where an employee’s misconduct has continued and the outcome of the final disciplinary hearing is dismissal.

It records the date of the final hearing, refers to the written formal warning already issued, and confirms the employer’s decision to terminate the employee’s contract of employment because the misconduct has continued.

When to use this misconduct dismissal notice

This letter should be used at the end of the disciplinary process where earlier warnings have not led to the required improvement and dismissal is the final outcome.

It provides formal written confirmation of that decision following the disciplinary hearing.

What the letter needs to confirm

The notice should clearly set out:

- the date of the final disciplinary hearing;
- the written formal warning that had previously been issued; and
- the decision to dismiss because the misconduct has continued.

Appeal rights and disciplinary procedure

The employee should be told that they have the right to appeal. The letter should also state the number of days within which any appeal must be made.

This notice should be read alongside the Disciplinary Policy and Procedure and the Guidance Notes: Disciplinary Procedure.
