Been unfairly dismissed or know someone that has?

What is unfair dismissal?

Unfair dismissal is a statutory right available to employees who believe they have been dismissed unfairly or unreasonably by their employer.

Employees must have completed two years’ service before they are able to bring an unfair dismissal claim.

There are, however, some dismissals which are deemed to be “automatically unfair”.  These cases have no qualifying period.
