statement of reasons for dismissal
A written notice of the reasons for an employee’s dismissal or for the nonrenewal of a fixed-term contract. Under the terms of the Employment Rights Act 1996, a dismissed employee having two years’ continuous employment may demand such a statement from his employer and may complain to an employment tribunal if the statement is refused or not provided within 14 days. If an employee is dismissed during her pregnancy (or when making arrangements for the adoption of a child), or after the birth of her child (or upon placement of an adopted child) in circumstances in which her maternity (or adoption) leave ends by reason of the dismissal, then the employee is entitled to such a statement without making any request and irrespective of her period of continuous employment (see maternity rights). |
