2025 Online Employment Law Training | SOSR

Some Other Substantial Reason; what does this cover and when can we rely on this “reason” to dismiss?

 

We are pleased to invite you to our 2025 Online Employment Law Training programme. This year, following your feedback, we have split the training into two parts: #backtobasics courses, which are designed to appeal to junior HR professionals and line managers; and #masterclass courses, which involve more in-depth learning on a strategically important topic and which are designed to appeal to HR professionals and in-house lawyers. Both courses are full of practical tips and real life cases.

 

#masterclass

 

 These courses will involve a deeper dive into topics including managing neurodiverse employees and employees with mental health problems, DEI and Equal Pay and relying on ‘Some Other Substantial Reason’ to fairly dismiss.

  • An employee’s actions have adversely affected our Company’s good reputation. Can we dismiss?
