Wrongful dismissal claims: understand your legal rights
Wrongful dismissal occurs when an employer breaches the terms of an employee’s contract when terminating their employment. Unlike unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal focuses on whether the contract was violated, such as by failing to provide the required notice period or breaching other contractual obligations. Employees can bring claims for wrongful dismissal regardless of their length of service. This subcluster explores the key differences between wrongful and unfair dismissal, the legal grounds for making a claim, and the potential remedies, such as compensation or reinstatement. It provides employees with the knowledge needed to address breaches of contract effectively.
