Unfair Dismissal & Employment Tribunal Claims |
|
If you have been dismissed from your job, for misconduct, redundancy or some other reason, and you do not believe that your employer has acted fairly or in good faith, you may be able to claim compensation through an Employment Tribunal claiming unfair dismissal.
Our employment lawyers are vastly experienced in advising and assisting employees in bringing claims through the Employment Tribunal and representing them at hearings.
Generally, if you are being dismissed, then not only must your employer follow a recognised fair procedure, but also the dismissal must be for a fair reason. A Tribunal will need to determine the reason, and to assess whether your employer has acted fairly in all the circumstances.
Most Employment Tribunal claims must be presented to the Tribunal within three months from the day when you were dismissed, or if you have served out your notice, the day when your employment ended.
That is why it is important for you to seek advice at the earliest opportunity so that we can assess when this deadline falls and ensure that your claim is presented in good time.
Our approach to any dispute of this nature is to seek resolution at the earliest opportunity, avoiding the need to pursue a claim in the Tribunal if appropriate settlement or resolution can be achieved sooner. If this is not possible, however, then we can provide representation throughout the process.
We will discuss funding options with you at the outset, including exploring whether you may have the benefit of legal expense insurance.
