Your Employment Webinar with focus on an often misunderstood, and under-utilised, area of unfair dismissal law – the “Some Other Substantial Reason” (SOSR) dismissal. Often referred to as a residual “catch all” category for potentially fair dismissals, things may not be that simple.
That said, the SOSR label can sometimes be used to the employers’ advantage in difficult cases where a necessary dismissal cannot be safely made on grounds of redundancy, performance or misconduct. Having knowledge of this area of the law is an essential piece of any employer’s HR toolkit.
Our panel of expert employment lawyers will cover the following useful topics:
1. An introduction to the concept of SOSR dismissals – when can this ground be used and what types of dismissals can it cover?
2. Practical steps in an SOSR dismissal process if an employee is refusing/making it difficult to be managed.
3. SOSR dismissals in the context of refusal to accept changes to terms and conditions.
