Law at work 2021 - the trade union guide to employment law (July 2021)

Chapter 10

Dismissals and spent convictions

[ch 10: page 392]

Dismissal for a spent conviction is automatically unfair. However, unlike most automatically unfair dismissals, two years’ service is needed (one year in Northern Ireland). See Chapter 3, page 75 for information on criminal records checks.
