Lawson West’s expert employment solicitors and lawyers have significant experience in dealing with dismissal claims.

Dismissal is when your employer ends your employment. This could happen in several ways for example:-

Your employer tells you they are ending your employment, with or without notice
You or your employer breaches your employment contract
Your Fixed-Term contract is not renewed

If your employer has dismissed you, they must show they have:

a valid reason that they can justify
acted reasonably in the circumstances
a fair reason for dismissing you

It is important that your employer has conducted a full investigation before dismissing you. If your employer acted fairly but came to the wrong conclusion (for example, if they have got the facts wrong) this will not necessarily mean your dismissal is unfair.

Your employer is required to demonstrate that they have been consistent in their sanction and have not sacked you for doing something that they normally let other employees do.

In order for claims to be presented for dismissal related matters, there are strict rules which must be followed. To bring a claim of dismissal related matters you will need to demonstrate that you are or were an employee and employed for the requisite period of time.

If you find yourself in a situation where you have been unfairly dismissed or if the dismissal procedure has not been followed, we can help. Please remember there are strict time limits in Employment claims and you should take good legal advice as soon as possible.
