...2.5 A psychological contract is an unwritten agreement between employer and employee where both parties have an unwritten understanding to ensure balance in mutual expectations of each other and encourage discretionary efforts. “The beliefs individuals hold regarding the terms and conditions of the exchange agreement between themselves and their organizations”. Rousseau (1989).The psychological contract reduces insecurity in the employment relationships as all aspects are not covered in a formal written contract. A psychological contract is based on employees trust and belief that employee will honor the ”deal” between them and this may encourage an employee to put in extra efforts and time without being asked to do so or an employer to...

...Dismissal Meeting Strategic Human Resource Management HRM500 Dr. Young Brittney Ross May 18,2014 Dismissal meetings are always difficult but most be done to benefit the company and the remaining employees. There are plenty of reasons that a company would have to layoff, it is my job to choose the employees that may not be the best fit for the company. How I view the dismissal procedure or layoffs involves making sure that the reason for dismissal is valid, I would create a written statement or documentation for the reason of dismissal, giving the employee appropriate notice of dismissal, and notifying important agencies if necessary (Kelin,2008). Dismissal usually occur for misconduct or poor performance previous steps would be required such as write up and verbal warnings, as well as the additional steps of investigation and providing and allowing proper documentation. It is important to follow policy and procedure to the T, to avoid potential injustice against the employee and to reduce the possibility of lawsuits in the future. Dismissals and layoffs is a difficult time for employees and the company. I would need to help mangers figure out ways to cope with negative emotions that accompany layoff could have. I would propose three ways that a manager can cope with any negative emotions that may accompany an employee layoff. That would be communicate, Demonstrate continuing long-term interest in the careers of the survivors and last but not least Proactively address the...

...Dear Siphokazi I write regarding your request for advice on your recent dismissal from the financial firm you’ve worked for the past 6 years. Dismissal is the employer’s termination a contract of employment and whilst dismissals are not uncommon practice in organisations, circumstances where one feels injustices have occurred, have grounds for an appeal through external systems (Bendix, Sonia, 2010). Most dismissal appeal cases aim to result in reinstatement, but seeing as you have interests in receiving compensation, and having the injustices of your dismissal corrected, below I shall outline steps you can take to achieve this through the CCMA or Labour Court. The two options I explains have differing weightings on their likelihood to produce justice (ie. Probable ruling in your favour) and their degree of compensation. I shall end off by advising you based on these weightings. To start the appeal process for any of the options I will suggest, you will need to send a written referral to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA), seeing as financial institutions do not have a bargaining council of their own (Bendix, Sonia, 2010. This should be done within the 30 days from the date you were informed or given notice of dismissal, which in your case is probably when you received the outcome of your disciplinary hearing. You can find the prescribed form for referrals through this link, which once completed, should be copied for delivery to your employer...

The right that everyone has to fair labour practices helps by protecting the employee against unfair acts/omission between an employer and employee, involving: Unfair Promotion – for instance not promoting someone who is eligible, or discriminating against certain individuals whilst promoting others. Unfair demotion – for instance demotion (even in the event where the employer has reason to terminate the contract, for instance where the employee has been performing poorly) without consultation with the employee. – Unfair Training – for instance by providing training to some employees and not to others, where there is no justifiable reason or in breach of for example a collective agreement Unfair suspension – for instance by suspending an employee for no reason, Or by suspending him or her without pay or for prolonged periods. Failure to reinstate a former employee where there was an agreement – for instance in a case of retrenchment, where the employer decides to reinstate some of the employees he or she previously dismissed, but not others. Prejudice (occupational detriment) suffered because of protected disclosure – the wrongful prejudice of an employee due to the fact that he or she provided information which qualifies as a protected disclosure in terms of the Protected Disclosures Act 24...

Every company must establish a discipline procedure because it can produce a controlled performance between employer and employee as a guidance of their own talent and resources (Torrington, Hall, and Taylor, 2002, p.528). ACAS disciplinary procedure is the one rule that help and encourage all workers to achieve and maintain standards of conduct, attendance and job performance to ensure consistent and fair treatment between employer and employees.

FINDINGS CONTRACTS OF EMPLOYMENT An employment contract, or ‘contract of employment’, is an agreement between an employer and an employee which sets out their employment rights, responsibilities and duties. These are called the ‘terms' of the contract. (DirectGov, Online, Accessed 18/12/2010) Employment contracts do not have to be in writing, they can be word of mouth. However, every employee is entitled to a written statement containing employment terms and conditions within 2 months of starting work. The statement must contain a number of relevant details such as Hours, Rates of pay, holidays etc, and must comply with Section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The contract itself is made as soon as a job offer is accepted, and both the employee and employer are bound to...

...Over the last decade, Australian courts have vigorously debated over the existence, formulation, and consequences of the implied term of mutual trust and confidence, in the context of employment contracts. The decision in Commonwealth Bank of Australia v Barker [2013] FCAFC 83 (‘Barker’) has granted some clarification in this area, with the majority confirming that a term of mutual trust and confidence can be implied into all contracts of employment, unless the term would be inconsistent with the express terms of the contract. The decision has created implications for employers who must review the terms of their employment contracts and reconsider their pre-termination processes, and doubt relating to the scope and operation of the term. Facts: Mr Barker was employed as an executive manager at Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA); he had a considerable period of service with the bank. In 2009, the CBA undertook a nationwide restructure of its corporate financial services unit, causing Mr Barker’s position made redundant. Its redeployment policy was to reallocate employees to a suitable position where possible, however the banks HR manual provided that the policy did not ‘form any part of an employee’s contract of employment’. Mr Barker was informed that his position had become redundant and he was told that his employment would be dismissed in one month if another position was not found within CBA. On his notification of redundancy, Mr Barker was told to clear his desk...
