Employers faced with employees not accepting new terms on a contract do not have many options open to them.

If the employee does not accept the changes the only other option for the employer is to dismiss him and offer employment on the new terms. However, by doing this the employer may become liable for claims for breach of contract, unfair dismissal or redundancy if the correct procedures are not followed and the appropriate reasons for dismissal do not exist Termination of employment is dealt with in greater detail in chapter 6 but if employers wish to take this route it is suggested that they rake advice before doing so.
