Unfair dismissal explained: workplace rights and legal options
Unfair dismissal occurs when an employee is terminated without a fair reason or without following the proper legal process. In the UK, employment law protects workers from unjust terminations, ensuring that employers adhere to fair and transparent procedures. Common claims of unfair dismissal include discrimination, whistleblowing, or being let go without adequate notice or consultation. Employees are eligible to bring a claim if they have been employed continuously for at least two years, although exceptions exist for certain cases such as discrimination. This subcluster offers comprehensive insights into what constitutes unfair dismissal, how to file a claim with an employment tribunal, the remedies available, and how to build a strong case to safeguard your rights.
