As details of those involved in the recent rioting start to emerge, some employers might decide they no longer want to employ those who are implicated in criminal activity particularly where their identities have been revealed in the press.
Whether you can dismiss an employee involved in the rioting will depend on whether you can establish a sufficient connection between the conduct and the employee’s job.
