Podcast: "Some other substantial reason" dismissals

On this week's XpertHR Weekly, we discuss "some other substantial reason" dismissals with special guest, Max Winthrop. Max, an employment partner at Short Richardson & Forth LLP and XpertHR Employment law manual updating author, provides guidance on the type of situations that may result in the employer being able to rely on "some other substantial reason" as a potentially fair reason for dismissal. We also explain the steps that employers should take when seeking to dismiss for "some other substantial reason".

Presenter Clio Springer is joined by Max Winthrop. Edited and produced by Laura Kimpton.
