Unfair Dismissal Claims – Where Do I Begin?

Unfair dismissal occurs when you either weren’t given a fair reason for dismissal, weren’t given any reason to justify your dismissal or were not provided with a full and fair dismissal procedure.

The first place any solicitor will begin is figuring out what your circumstances are and whether or not it constitutes unfair dismissal.

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.

Your solicitor 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.

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 circumstances in which it might be higher.
