MML Law

Probably one for the “things you shouldn’t need an employment lawyer to tell you” file…

An Employment Tribunal has ruled that calling your manager a “slapper” and suggesting she “slept her way to the top” was sufficient grounds for dismissal.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Tribunal agreed that the comments could amount to gross misconduct and a serious breach of trust and confidence.

But there is a useful reminder for employers behind the headline.

Even when alleged misconduct appears fairly clear-cut, the process still matters. Employers should investigate properly, establish the facts, follow a fair disciplinary procedure and give the employee an opportunity to respond before reaching a decision.

And for employees?

Maybe keep “slapper” out of the workplace vocabulary. 😬

An eye-catching case, but also a useful example of why getting disciplinary procedures right matters.

The comments constituted gross misconduct

A serious accident can happen in seconds.

Living with what comes afterwards can take years.

Work can change. Family life can change. Independence can change.

And plans for the future can suddenly look very different.

That’s why serious injury cases aren’t simply about what happened on one particular day.

They’re about understanding what that injury means for someone’s life.

And doing the work properly.

It doesn’t always have to become a fight.

There can be difficult conversations about children, money, property and what life looks like afterwards.

Clear legal advice can help you understand your options and make decisions without adding unnecessary conflict.

You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Different stages of life bring different mortgage questions.

How much? How long? Fixed or variable? What options are available?

You don’t need to know all the answers before speaking to someone.

That’s rather the point.

MML Financial Services can help you understand the mortgage options available based on your individual circumstances.

Financial advice isn’t simply about having lots of money to invest.

People seek advice when they’re buying a home, thinking about retirement, protecting their family, reviewing pensions or simply trying to understand what their options are.

The starting point isn’t a product.

It’s a conversation about you, your circumstances and what you’re trying to achieve.
