Latest Client Questions 

 

An employee had an argument with their manager, the end of which the employee screamed ‘I’m not working here anymore, I resign!’ and storms out. The next day the employee returns to work stating that they did not really wish to resign. What should I do?
Answer:

If the employee makes it clear that they did not wish to resign within that period then it is up to you, the employer to allow them to return to work. Any refusal to do so could result in an unfair dismissal claim. However you are perfectly entitled to evoke the disciplinary procedure on their return on grounds of misconduct.
