If you feel your employer ended your employment unfairly, either because of the reason why you were dismissed, or the process they used, then you may have been unfairly dismissed and might be able to complain to an Industrial Tribunal.
What unfair dismissal is
There are several ways your dismissal could be unfair:
- your employer does not have a fair reason for dismissing you (for example, if there was nothing wrong with your job performance)
- your employer did not follow the correct process when dismissing you (for example, if they have not followed their company dismissal processes or the statutory minimum dismissal procedure)
- you were dismissed for an automatically unfair reason (for example, because you wanted to take maternity leave)
There are many other reasons too why a claim might be brought against your employer for Unfair Dismissal so if you suspect that your role was terminated unfairly and not in accordance with UK law, our specialist Employment department can offer a free, no-obligation consultation to advise whether you may have a claim.
