Updated:

11/12/24

Summary dismissal refers to the immediate termination of an employee's contract due to serious misconduct or breach of company policies. Unlike regular dismissal, which may involve a notice period or severance, summary dismissal occurs without warning or notice, typically for actions such as theft, violence, fraud, or severe insubordination. This type of dismissal is usually reserved for situations that undermine the trust or safety necessary for the employment relationship to continue.
