What Counts as Unfair Dismissal?
Under UK employment law, employers must have a fair and legally valid reason for dismissing an employee, and they must follow a proper process. If they fail to do so, the dismissal may be deemed unfair.
If you believe you’ve been unfairly dismissed, our specialist employment solicitors can guide you through the process of bringing an unfair dismissal claim to the Employment Tribunal. If you felt forced to resign because your employer’s behaviour made it impossible for you to continue working, we can also advise on whether you may have grounds for a constructive dismissal claim.
Where a dismissal is connected to protected characteristics, such as age, race, gender, disability, religion, or any other form of discrimination, our team can help you pursue the appropriate claim and ensure your rights are fully protected. In discrimination cases, compensation is not capped, making experienced legal support especially important.
If you are still employed but concerned that your position is at risk, we can provide early advice on the steps you should take to safeguard your rights and strengthen your position moving forward.
