Employee Unfair Dismissal
Arthur Li, Specialist
Employment Solicitor
A dismissal is classed as an unfair dismissal when an employee is dismissed from his job and the employer doesn't have a legally valid reason for terminating the contract and/or has acted unreasonably in the circumstances.
An employee can also be unfairly dismissed constructively (constructive dismissal) if the employer's actions left him with no alternative but to resign.
Length of Service To Qualify For Unfair Dismissal?
In most cases as an employee you will need to have at least one year's service to make a claim for unfair dismissal at the Employment Tribunal.
Compensation for Unfair Dismissal
If you are successful, you will receive basic compensation as laid down by law, plus compensation for loss of earnings and loss of other rights. You can also ask for your old job back or be re-employed by the employer in a different capacity as alternatives to receiving compensation.
Our Costs For Unfair Dismissal Claims
We understand that employees who have been dimissed may find it financially difficult to use a lawyer for a claim. Therefore, we can offer you a variety of funding methods to make it as easy as possible for you to make a claim. This can include fixed fee advice, payment by instalments or even on some cases on a "contigency fee" basis. This is similar to "no fee no win" way of charging and no fee is payable if you lose your case, the difference is that if you win your case, you will pay us an agreed proportion of the compensation that you receive. The obvious benefit to you is that it means you can pursue a claim for unfair dismissal when otherwise you might not be able to do so.
