Employment Law for Employees
Facing dismissal from your workplace can be a challenging experience. You will be looking for competent support from experienced Employment Lawyers to help you come to terms with what has happened and to find a way forward.
It is important to understand your rights as an employee and the grounds for different types of dismissal claims.
Unfair dismissal occurs when your employer has terminated your employment contract without a fair reason or they have failed to follow proper dismissal procedures. The grounds for unfair dismissal could include:
Constructive dismissal occurs if you have resigned due to a fundamental breach of contract by your employer and you felt there was no other alternative but to resign. Key grounds for constructive dismissal could include:
Should you feel the need to resign, before doing so it is imperative that you make efforts to discuss the issue with your employer through their internal procedures, keeping thorough records of your dealings including any communications and attempts at resolution. Should the matter not be addressed satisfactorily by your employer, it is at this stage we would suggest you take legal advice to consider your options. One of those may be to resign with notice, making it clear that your employer's actions are the reason behind your resignation and could amount to constructive dismissal. Our Dismissal at Work Solicitors can discuss the likelihood of success with you prior to making this significant decision and review your options with you.
Wrongful dismissal refers to a breach of contract when they are ending your employment. Grounds for wrongful dismissal could include:
Understanding your rights in the face of dismissal is crucial for protecting your interests. No matter the type of dismissal, there are time limits involved to bring an Employment Tribunal claim, so it is imperative to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
