Frequently asked questions
An unfair dismissal occurs when an employer dismisses an employee without a fair reason or fails to follow a fair process. Common fair reasons include conduct, capability, redundancy or statutory restrictions, but even these must be handled properly. Most employees need at least two years’ continuous service to bring a claim, although some dismissals are automatically unfair. We assess the reason for dismissal and the procedure used to determine whether you have a viable claim.
You usually have three months minus one day from the date of dismissal to start a claim.
Constructive dismissal occurs when you resign because your employer’s conduct leaves you no reasonable choice.
In most cases, you need two years’ service, but there are important exceptions.
Compensation may include a basic award and a compensatory award, subject to limits.
No. Many cases resolve through settlement or ACAS conciliation before a hearing.
