Unfair Dismissal Claims
The law requires employers to act reasonably when terminating an employee’s contract. Therefore, if an employee has felt compelled to leave their employer, they have been dismissed unfairly or without following formal processes it might be possible for them to commence legal action.
If the correct process and legal regulations have not been complied with, it can have significant implications both financially and reputationally. For this reason, it is important to understand all the options available to employers, to both limit a claim in the first instance and to understand what steps to take if an employee raises a complaint.
