When ending employment or managing workplace conduct, clear and compliant communication is essential. Redundancy, disciplinary, and dismissal letters form a key part of that process — setting out your decisions formally, ensuring fairness, and protecting your business from future legal risk.
Our UK lawyers draft tailored employment letters that comply with the Employment Rights Act 1996 and ACAS guidance, helping employers handle difficult situations lawfully, sensitively, and professionally.
Employment termination and disciplinary processes carry significant legal obligations. A poorly written letter can lead to misunderstandings, grievances, or employment tribunal claims. Whether you’re confirming redundancy, issuing a disciplinary warning, or dismissing an employee, your correspondence must be clear, fair, and compliant with UK employment law.
Our lawyers ensure your letters are correctly worded, legally sound, and reflect the process you’ve followed — giving you confidence that your communication meets statutory and procedural requirements.
A redundancy letter is issued when a role is being removed or reduced for business reasons. It must set out the reason for redundancy, confirm the selection process, outline notice periods, and explain redundancy pay entitlements.
Our UK lawyers prepare redundancy letters that are clear, factual, and legally compliant, ensuring the decision is properly recorded and that employees are informed of their rights and entitlements, including consultation and appeal processes.
Disciplinary letters are used to confirm warnings or disciplinary action following misconduct, poor performance, or policy breaches. They should explain the allegations, findings, and any sanctions, along with details of the employee’s right to appeal.
Our lawyers draft disciplinary letters that balance firmness with fairness, ensuring the process complies with ACAS guidance and that the employee’s right to respond has been respected. Each letter reflects the evidence, the investigation outcome, and the appropriate sanction.
Dismissal letters confirm the end of employment, whether for gross misconduct, capability, redundancy, or another lawful reason. They must explain the reason for dismissal, specify notice entitlement (if any), and provide information on final pay, benefits, and appeal rights.
Our UK lawyers prepare dismissal letters that meet all statutory requirements and reduce the risk of claims for unfair or wrongful dismissal. Each letter is written clearly, maintaining professionalism while protecting your business legally.
