Unfair Dismissal Solicitors

Is Your Employee Claiming Unfair Dismissal?

If you have an employee claiming unfair dismissal it can lead to a drain on your time and resources. A dismissal is classed as an unfair dismissal when an employee is dismissed from his job and you don't have a legally valid reason for terminating the contract and/or you have acted unreasonably in the circumstances.

An employee can also be unfairly dismissed constructively (constructive dismissal) if your actions left your employee with no alternative but to resign.

Whatever the nature of your employee's claim against you, we will examine them and advise you of your options.

Length of Service To Qualify For Unfair Dismissal?

In most cases employee will need to have at least one year's service to make a claim for unfair dismissal at the Employment Tribunal so a claim can be stopped before it is commenced for this reason alone.

Compensation for Unfair Dismissal

If your employee is successful with their claim, they can receive basic compensation as laid down by law, plus compensation for loss of earnings and loss of other rights. They might also ask for their job back or to be re-employed by you in a different capacity as an alternative to receiving compensation. We will explore all possibilities for you.
