Who can use this form
Only use this form if you:
- are an employer and we have sent you a copy of an unfair dismissal application (Form F2)
- have reason ('grounds') to object.
Note: As an employer, you must complete Form F3 to respond to an application for unfair dismissal. If you have already given your objections using Form F3, you do not need to use Form F4.
