Who is Eligible to Claim?

This employment law term refers to when an employee is dismissed on unfair grounds. It also refers to when an employer does not follow dismissal processes correctly. To claim unfair dismissal, employees must have a tenure of a minimum of two years of continuous service. However, if you are dismissed due to discrimination even if the dismissal happens within the first two years of employment, you may be able to claim.

What Classes as Unfair Dismissal?

Unfair Reason

If you have not been dismissed for fair reasons such as poor performance, misconduct, redundancy, safeguarding issues, or illegality, you may have been unfairly dismissed. Even if you have been dismissed for what appears to be a fair reason, the reason may not be justified and could be classed as an unfair dismissal.

Failure to Follow Dismissal Process

If you have been dismissed for a fair reason but a fair dismissal procedure was not followed, you may be able to claim. Examples are failure to give warnings or a right of appeal to a different manager.
