Podcast: Heat-of-the-moment dismissals
On this week's XpertHR Weekly, we look at heat-of-the-moment dismissals, including ambiguous words or behaviour on the part of the employer or employee. We discuss the recent employment tribunal decision in Townsend v Commercial Storage Ltd ET/27201352/2014, and see whether or not the tribunal held that the employer's words and subsequent conduct did amount to a dismissal.
Presenter Susan Dennehy is joined by Stephen Simpson. Edited and produced by Laura Kimpton.
