Looking for a bit of advice with regards to employment law for unfair dismissal - as my missus is current going through the process.
Without going into to much detail, she worked in a care home as a senior member of staff, and it appears she has been held accountable for the actions of other staff members during an incident where in fact there was a lack of training/action plan for an incident of that particular nature.
In summary, my missus received notice of suspension which culminated in instant dismissal after an investigation. She currently isnt in a union, but as far as I can understand the process was followed correctly.
We are going through the internal appeal process and I am trying to get some advice over where she stands in the outcome that the appeal is overturned by the internal process.
She doesnt want to return to work and has since found another job, but Im not sure if she would be entitled to backpay for the period of dismissal at the very least or any further compensation on top.
I have been reading up on the process of an employment tribunal in the event that the appeal is unsuccessful. I have a basic understanding of that process, but I need some clarification on the first stage of appeal.
Just to clarify Im not looking at this as a way of making money, but as a result of the whole incident my missus doesnt want to work in care again and has had to take a lower paid job just to pay the bills.
