Where an employee is summarily dismissed, but pursues an appeal against that dismissal, the effective date of termination of employment may be the date when the appeal is decided against him. It can depend upon whether the employee stood suspended pending the outcome of the appeal, or whether he was dismissed with the possibility of re-instatement. This might be dealt with according, for example, to whether he was issued with a P45 and was free to take up other employment straight away.
