The current economic climate has prompted employers to reassess the structure and staffing requirements of their businesses, with the result that some employees have been dismissed. In some cases, the employee may feel that the employment was ended unfairly, either because of the reason for dismissal, or the process that was used.
In Bermuda protection is offered to both the employee and the employer by the Employment Act 2000 (the “Act”). Any dismissal of an employee must be in relation to ability, performance or conduct, or the operational requirements of the employer’s business (unless it is a dismissal due to redundancy). Once the criteria for dismissal have been established, the employer must notify the employee in writing and follow the notice period provisions of the Act.
