Document background
The Disciplinary Outcome Letter Dismissal is a critical employment document used when terminating an employee's contract following disciplinary proceedings in England and Wales. It must be issued promptly after a disciplinary hearing where dismissal is the outcome, ensuring compliance with the Employment Rights Act 1996 and ACAS Code of Practice. The letter serves multiple purposes: it formally communicates the dismissal decision, provides required written reasons, confirms practical arrangements for ending employment, and outlines appeal rights. This document is essential for protecting both employer and employee rights and may be crucial evidence in any subsequent employment tribunal proceedings.
