Trust is the foundation of every successful workplace. When employees join an organisation, they bring their skills, ambition, and dedication,but they also bring expectations. They expect fair treatment, clear communication, and the opportunity to prove themselves.

Thankfully, in the majority of cases, this proves to be a good and positive relationship for both parties. However, a recent Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) ruling serves as a stark reminder to employers that probationary dismissals must always be handled with integrity, transparency, and fairness.
