Retraction of Heat of the Moment Dismissal Letter

Retraction of Heat of the Moment Dismissal Letter

This letter can be used where either the Employer or the Employee has resigned “in the heat of the moment”, this can during a heated moment, a misunderstanding or a disagreement.

Note: In employment law terms, a dismissal is a unilateral act on behalf of the Employer and the general rule is that once communicated to the Employee, it cannot unilaterally be withdrawn. The purpose of this letter is therefore to try and avoid a potential claim of unfair dismissal made by the Employee by requesting them to agree to return to work.
