Unfair or Wrongful Dismissal - Employees

If you have been dismissed from your employment and the circumstances are unfair, you will probably have a claim for unfair dismissal.  Your employer must be able to establish that the only, or principal reason for the dismissal was a potentially fair reason.

The permitted reasons are:

• Capability (or qualifications)
• Conduct
• Redundancy
• Illegality (for example a delivery driver being disqualified from driving)
• Retirement
• Some other substantial reason

If you have been dismissed for any other reason you should seek professional advice at the earliest opportunity as there are very strict time limits for a claim for unfair dismissal to be presented to the Employment Tribunal.

How our employment solicitors can help:

• Practical and pragmatic advice
• Advise you on the merits of your case
• Give clear advice on the procedure you need to follow
• Help maximise any award that you may be entitled to
