Reporting from Legal issues as I didn't get much response.
He has been working for a year with a relatively small company undergoing rapid growth. He has lots of relevant skills but the core skill for which he was employed he had only very limited experience and on employment made it clear that he would require training. This was promised but has not been forthcoming. No concerns regarding his development were raised by the company at 6 month review although DH commented on lack of training. At 8 months they started to put pressure on him to improve core skill but still no training materialised. Now a year in and they have started formal competency review proceedings and a little training has started. Unfortunately during practice DH destroyed a piece of equipment having been left to his own devices after some familiarisation training. He is worried that they will use this to say he is not capable.
So.....what evidence/proof would he need for unfair dismissal on the basis that they have not provided adequate training and do they need to pay him his contracted notice period if they sack him for failing to develop this key skill? Does anyone have experience of employment tribunals?
He has been employed since before April last year as I know the criteria changed for unfair dismissal then.
