Unfair Dismissal

Unfair dismissal is when you’re unfairly dismissed from your job or not given proper notice of dismissal. It’s illegal to dismiss an employee for specific reasons, and in some cases, an unfair dismissal could entitle you to compensation. Unfair dismissal includes issues related to being overlooked for a cause that’s not legally valid; dismissal because you’ve taken action to enforce employment rights; dismissal because you’ve joined a trade union; and non-payment of wages.
