Hi there,
I manage a small number of employees and following a number of incidents with one it was felt between myself, my line manager and our HR advisors that this particular member of staff was not able to pass probationary period so gave them pay in lieu of notice to leave.
There is now a claim of disability discrimination which I don't believe has merit as all reasonable adjustments had been offered by myself and the employee did not want any further support. The dismissal was nothing connected to disability as far as I'm concerned. HR and my line manager agreed.
Now I just want to know...if there is a strong case for disability discrimination, or unfair dismissal and the employee is successful with this claim . As the manager who did this, despite HR and line management guidance is there any come back on me? Can I be dismissed or reprimanded as a result of this?
I've had somewhat mixed signals from my employer recently and I am just doubting myself. It wasn't a pleasant experience having to do it and it seems to be dragging on.
Thank you
