If an employee has less than 2 years’ service it may be possible for the employee to bring a claim for automatic unfair dismissal if the employee could demonstrate that their dismissal was for a reason which is protected by employment law. Examples include:
- Discrimination on specific grounds e.g. sex or race
- making a protected disclosure (Whistleblowing).
- asserting a statutory right e.g. right to NMW.
- Related to status as a part-time or fixed term worker
- Trade union activity
An employer must ensure that it does not fall foul of Employment Legislation as it could lead to a significant claim.
If an employment tribunal finds that the dismissal is unfair, it can order the employer to re-engage or reinstate the employee or more commonly pay the employee compensation.
Our team of employment specialists regularly assists employers and employees in advising on the prospects of any claim, submission of a claim form or defence and all aspects of preparation of the matter for a Tribunal hearing including representation in an Employment Tribunal.
