It is vital that a company applies the principles of law and good practice when an employee leaves a company. An employment relationship can end in several ways, but most commonly it ends through resignation or dismissal. As well as the law on unfair dismissal which needs to be considered, there are other types of dismissal including constructive dismissal and wrongful dismissal

These apply to all dismissals regardless of whether you are dealing with an unfair dismissal, a constructive dismissal or a wrongful dismissal.
