In all the places I worked, no separation led to litigation except one that went for conciliation as earlier shared under MISTAKES on this blog.
I failed to obey in the main all unlawful and unreasonable instructions to either terminate or provide information with which staff were terminated. Please see MANAGEMENT RASCALITY on this blog.
Throughout my work life as an HR Practitioner, I only terminated one HR staff for failing to account properly for funds he collected to executive some projects.
The highest number of staff I separated from work were based on Redundancy not due to any fault of theirs.
The second highest cause of separation was Dismissal, consequent upon abandonment of duty. These were staff who were absent for three consecutives days without permission.
The next highest were staff who breached other rules such as Habitual lateness, Habitual absenteeism, sleeping on duty, falsification of records and outright stealing.
Finally, I can confidently say, nobody who was affected by any separation was denied his/her entitlements.
When we separate people from their work lawfully, we hardly have them resorting to court cases as their will be nothing to fight for. #HRwithEM
