Hva er Gross Misconduct? | HR-ordliste | BambooHR
Serious wrongdoing so grave that it can justify dismissal without notice or pay in lieu.
Gross misconduct is behaviour serious enough to destroy the trust at the heart of the employment relationship — such as theft, violence, fraud, serious breaches of safety or gross negligence.
Because it can justify summary dismissal (dismissal without notice), employers must be certain of the facts and follow a fair procedure, including a proper investigation and hearing, before acting.
A clear list of examples in the disciplinary policy helps set expectations, but each case must still be judged on its own facts and handled proportionately.
