Do I have to tell an employee why they are being dimissed?

Employees who are dismissed and have completed at least one year's continuous employment are entitled to receive, on request (orally or in writing), a written statement of reasons for dismissal within 14 days. An employee dismissed during:

  • her pregnancy or her ordinary or additional maternity leave
  • his or her ordinary or additional adoption leave

is entitled to a written statement of the reasons regardless of length of service and regardless of whether or not the request was made.
