Where the employer's underlying reason for dismissal is alleged misconduct, clause 35.3 cannot be used to bypass the contractual disciplinary and grievance procedures in Appendix 1; the employer must invoke and complete those procedures (with reasonable expedition) before termination takes effect, although once disciplinary procedures are completed the employer may then terminate by giving notice or payment in lieu as permitted by the contract.
