Talk to our team about unfair dismissals in The City
Unfair dismissal refers to the termination of employment without a fair reason (mainly conduct / misconduct, and capability including performance/sickness). If an employee is dismissed without a fair reason pursuant to the Employment Rights Act 1996, and if they have over two years service, they can bring a claim of Unfair Dismissal. If you believe that you have been unfairly dismissed, it’s important to understand your rights and the options available.
If you believe that your dismissal was unfair, it’s important to act promptly. In the UK, you have three months less one day from the date of termination to make a claim to an Employment Tribunal. After this period, you will be unable to bring a claim. Before the end of that first period you must first submit an ACAS Early Conciliation Request.
If you want to pursue a claim, it’s advisable to consult with a lawyer. A lawyer can help you understand your rights, determine the strength of your case and provide guidance on the next steps. What’s more, a lawyer can represent you in court and ensure that your rights are protected throughout the process.
