In this episode, you’ll learn about performance dismissals, including:-

• do warnings impact a performance management process?
• benefits and pitfalls of settlement agreements for underperforming employees 
• when can you move straight to dismissal for poor performance? 

Daniel discusses the topic with Saul Margo from Outer Temple Chambers.
