Whilst it is frustrating for an employee to be dismissed, there are some scenarios which are fair reasons for dismissal. These include capability, conduct, redundancy, breach of statute or some other substantial reason. If you are unsure whether your dismissal falls under any of these categories, then you should seek legal advice.

In order to bring a claim for unfair dismissal, you must have:

Have brought the claim within 3 months of the date of the dismissal
Two years’ continuous service. (The exception to this rule is where you believe you’re being discriminated against on the grounds of age, disability, gender, marriage, pregnancy/ maternity, race, religion, sexual orientation or you’ve been selected for being a whistleblower).

In order for us to best assist you with your claim we ask if you could attach a copy of your contract of employment and any correspondence relating to your dispute.

Work is either carried out on a fixed fee (which means that we will charge you a set amount of money for each piece of work we undertake) or on an hourly rate basis. All fees exclude VAT (where applicable).
