Employees can be dismissed unfairly for a variety of reasons, some of which are automatically deemed unfair under UK employment law. Below are common examples:
Automatic unfair dismissal
Certain dismissals are automatically considered unfair by law, regardless of the employer’s justification. These include dismissals related to whistleblowing, pregnancy, parental leave, or asserting other employment rights. In these cases, employees do not need to meet the two-year service requirement typically needed to bring an unfair dismissal claim.
Some unfair dismissal claims can become more complicated, and it’s important to know what factors might affect your case. Our expert employment law team will be by your side, handling the complexities for you. Factors that can add to the complexity include:
These factors don’t need to overwhelm you – we will manage them on your behalf, ensuring your case is presented as strongly as possible.
Disbursements are additional costs related to your case, such as expert reports or barristers’ fees if required. While most unfair dismissal claims won’t involve major disbursements, some cases may require a barrister for the Final Hearing. Rest assured, we take care of all disbursement payments for you, streamlining the process and keeping everything hassle-free.
