Italy has something ...You are politer than some...<br /><br />Italy has something similar for businesses under 15 employees - Mario Monti is I think trying to get rid of it in the basis that it encourages firms to keep small, which defeats the object. <br /><br />And in an extreme case of a poorly performing worker who might do some real harm but who has somehow slipped through the net, can't you just fire them and pay the award? Not good HR practice I'm sure, but cuts through red tape. From wikipedia:<br /><br />"The median award for unfair dismissal was £4,228; the average award was £8,679." <br /><br />If it's not worth £4k to get rid of them quickly, then go through the process. <br /><br />I'm not sure that IT tribunals have discretion to award more if an employer flouts the process - I think either it's fair or it's not. Even if they order you to take the e'ee back, you can refuse (at the cost of another award). You may know better than me, but I don't see the IT ordering the e'er to take someone back purely for failure to follow process.Lukenoreply@blogger.com
