Termination of employment
English law provides protection to an employee from unfair dismissal however an employer is allowed to terminate employment if it is carried out in a fair and reasonable manner.

The termination of employment can be lawful if the employee cannot properly carry out their job or if the employee is guilty of serious misconduct or if they are unable to work for any reason.

Termination may also be reasonable if it is by way of redundancy which may give entitlement to compensation for employees with more than two years service. If the redundancy is a sham then any dismissal is automatically unfair.
