What is the chance of being reinstated following a dismissal?
15 November 2021
I recently dismissed an employee that was causing serious conflict in our workplace. I’ll admit that the dismissal was done... rather hastily, but we had to get rid of this employee. The employee has taken us to the CCMA, and given that there may be issues with the dismissal, the CCMA may not find in our favour. That’s fine and I’m prepared to pay compensation, we just cannot afford to have this employee back at work. What are the chances that the CCMA may order the reinstatement of the employee if he is successful?
