Course description

‘Some other substantial reason’ (SOSR) is one of the fair reasons for dismissing an employee.


While most employers are familiar with redundancy, capability, and conduct dismissals, dismissing an employee with no performance issues or where there has not been a clear-cut misconduct can be difficult and uncertain.


Presented by expert speaker Paul Jennings, this webinar will give you a practical understanding of SOSR. Paul will discuss the test for a fair dismissal, overlap with other fair reasons, examples of SOSR, and more.
