Unfair Dismissal in the UK

Unfair dismissal occurs when an employee is dismissed from their job in a manner that is not legally justified. Employees in the UK have rights under the Employment Rights Act 1996, which protects them from wrongful termination.

Common grounds for unfair dismissal include:

• Dismissal for raising a grievance or complaint at work.
• Dismissal due to discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics.
• Dismissal for taking maternity or paternity leave.
• Dismissal without a fair reason or due process.

If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed, you may be entitled to compensation or reinstatement of your role.
