Unfair Dismissal – What Do I Need To Know?
Firstly, are you sure you’ve been unfairly dismissed?
It might seem like an obvious question but it’s an important one. For example, there are some things which are classed as automatically unfair if they’re the main reason for your dismissal, such as:
- Requesting flexible working
- If you resign and give the correct notice period
- Taking time off for jury duty
- Joining a union
- Applying for or receiving maternity, paternity, or adoption leave that you’re entitled to
- Refusing to give up working time rights
- Asking for a legal right such as receiving the national minimum wage
- Taking part in legal or industrial action for less than 12 weeks
If you were dismissed because of any of the above reasons, you should speak to an expert unfair dismissal no win no fee solicitor as soon as possible.
I Know What You’re Thinking – Unfair Dismissal No Win No Fee, What Does It Really Mean?
Well, a no win, no fee solicitor will act on your behalf and there is no fee required unless they win your case. That means if a ruling found that you were not unfairly dismissed, you wouldn’t then also have to worry about paying legal fees. It’s a great way of ensuring your own financial security and it instils confidence in your unfair dismissal solicitor from the outset.
How Do I Make An Unfair Dismissal Claim?
As I mentioned earlier, you should speak to a no win no fee solicitor for unfair dismissal as soon as you can…
Mainly because any unfair dismissal claim must be made within 3 months of your employment ending, whether it was the date of your dismissal or the last day of your notice period.
Making an unfair dismissal claim might mean going to an employment tribunal if it can’t be resolved beforehand. Before you make a claim, you should seek to come to a resolution with your employer, which might be a settlement agreement. Given the addition of legal costs when going to a tribunal, it’s always advisable to come to an agreement outside of a tribunal or court.
Your solicitor or legal expert will be able to help you with how to proceed but there are some set figures when it comes to the financial award that you’re given by an employment tribunal. It’s split into a ‘basic’ award and a ‘compensatory’ award.
The basic award is based on how long you’ve worked with your employer, starting with half a weeks’ pay for each complete year of employment under the age of 22 and working upwards. It’s then calculated at 1 Weeks’ pay for each complete year worked between 22-40 and 1.5 weeks’ pay for each complete year age 41 and over.
But what’s meant by 1 weeks’ pay is capped at £544, meaning that the maximum award of 30 weeks’ pay for the basic portion of the settlement is capped at £16,320.
The compensatory award is where personal circumstances are considered when calculating the total sum. For example, it might be you have lost earnings and missed out on bonuses, pensions, and other financial remuneration. For this segment of the award, the total amount is capped at £105,813, although there are some extenuating circumstances in which it might be higher.
