Your question
Can I fire somone one just because I don't like their work anymore?
Not necessarily. For employees of a local authority, the supplied regulations list specific grounds for termination, including misconduct, continuing ill health or unfitness, restructuring or abolition of the post, and unsatisfactory service during a trial appointment. Simply disliking the employee’s work is not stated as a ground by itself. 1
The regulations also identify negligence, disobedience, and incompetence as conduct connected with an employee’s duties, but the supplied extract does not establish that dismissal is automatic in every such case. 2 For temporary employees, termination may be for any reason the council considers sufficient, subject to the applicable rules. 1
For Namibia Central Intelligence Service staff, the supplied regulations separately refer to discharge for continued ill health and discharge or reduction in rank for inefficiency. 5 6 The sources do not provide enough information to determine the procedure or whether those provisions apply to the person concerned.
