Re: Dismissal of apprentice
Hello all,
As we've established already, an apprentice working under an Apprenticeship contract cannot be dismissed, except for exceptional circumstances. Therefore the notice period is irrelevant as the dismissal is unlawful.
I don't believe the apprentice may make a claim for unlawful deductions; however, that's also irrelevant as he may make a claim for wrongful dismissal and he should be entitled to at least the wages he would have earned.
IMO nothing else is relevant.
