Challenge
The client had raised concerns about unfair treatment but was then accused of poor performance and dismissed through a process that did not appear to follow the employer’s own procedure.
What the team did
The chronology was rebuilt, relevant workplace facts were identified, and the employer was presented with the factual and procedural weaknesses in the dismissal decision.
Outcome
The client was reinstated with backpay and improved terms. The case also caused the employer to address the underlying management issue.
