Unfair Dismissal Claims
Compensation for unfair dismissal can only be sought if the claimant has worked for their employer for more than one year, and if the claim is made within three months of the dismissal occurring. Furthermore, the claimant must be under the legal retirement age. If the employer can show that the claimant was unable to properly carry out their duties, or was unable to work, or was guilty of serious misconduct, and if the employer can show that they acted in a reasonable manner, then there can be no unfair dismissal claim (as it was, therefore, not an 'unfair' dismissal).
Our team of expert solicitors are ready to go to work on your behalf, and handle your claim for compensation on a no-win, no-fee basis. Our wealth of experience means we are able to offer you the best advice possible on how to proceed and win the unfair dismissal claim.
If your job was lost as a result of redundancy, then there are still possibilities that you could make an unfair dismissal claim, particularly as the redundancy process has many different requirements that employers must follow. Our legal team will be able to determine whether these processes have been followed correctly, and advise you accordingly.
Your unfair dismissal claim may have merit if it was as a result of discrimination; joining (or refusing to join) a Trade Union; taking leave to which you are entitled, or taking part in legitimate industrial action which lasts less than eight weeks. If you would like us to give you free advice on whether to make an unfair dismissal claim, or would definitely like to proceed with your claim, call or team of expert solicitors on 0844 8584404 or contact us using the form below.
