If you think your dismissal might be automatically unfair, then speak without obligation to one of our expert Unfair Dismissal Solicitors to see if have a claim.
Employers must follow certain dismissal procedures before they can lawfully dismiss an employee who has 12 months or more service.
If they don’t, the dismissal is automatically unfair.
Even if you don’t have 12 months service, it will be automatically unfair if they sack you because, for example, you:-
- Exercise your statutory rights, like the right to written particulars of your terms and conditions
- Are pregnant
- Take/ask to take statutory maternity, paternity or adoption leave
- Are or intend to be a trade union member, or refuse to join a union
- Exercise your rights under the National Minimum Wage Act
- Complain about a health and safety problem
- Report wrongdoing at work (‘whistleblowing’)
- Exercise your rights in connection with a statutory grievance or disciplinary procedure
- Take part in official industrial action that lasts less than 12 weeks
- Take time off for jury service
- Ask to work flexibly if you’ve a right to do so
- Exercise your rights under the Working Time Regulations
