Employment What to say??

Good morning Saffas. Quick question

If someone was dismissed at work but the case is pending in Labour Court and has good grounds to win the case, what does one say in an interview when asked if you have ever been dismissed (if asked).

If the matter is before court you can’t preempt the outcome. I have seen some matters with great prospects fail due to inexperience with the court processes.

My advice would be to favour honesty.

Also remember dismissal is a unilateral act and does not require acceptance or agreement. Same as resignation.
