This area covers how an employer assesses and manages an employee’s performance at work, including capability, conduct, and related dismissal risks. A solicitor helps with drafting and reviewing capability procedures, performance improvement plans, and disciplinary letters; gathering evidence of performance, arranging reviews, and advising on time limits and representation in a potential Employment Tribunal or dismissal process. It also covers appeals and the potential consequences for the employee’s role and pay if performance does not improve.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The process hinges on precise standards and deadlines: formal capability procedures, gathering objective performance data, issuing warnings, and the eventual decision to dismiss or redeploy. A solicitor ensures the process respects employment law, procedural fairness, and the right to a fair hearing, including documentation and any necessary tribunal representation.
