Can employers dismiss employees who are convicted of a criminal offence they committed outside the workplace and in their own time? How about employees who are being held in custody? Not necessarily (which might come as a surprise to some employers).
We provide guidance on dealing with misconduct outside work in the current series of XpertHR’s Topic of the Week (subscription required). In the first article in the series, Elizabeth Stevens of Steeles (Law) LLP, gives an overview that looks at whether it is reasonable for employers to take action against employees because of their misconduct outside work and the procedure for doing so. We will also be providing two case studies and a checklist on this subject.
