Unfair Dismissal Solicitors

Taking Control When Facing Unfair Dismissal

We've all been in tough spots before, but being dismissed from your job can be a uniquely distressing and confusing time. Particularly if you feel you've been unjustly let go, the situation can feel especially sour. But remember, you're not alone. We at Aticus Law are here to help you navigate these choppy waters and secure the justice you deserve. We aim to either get you the financial compensation that's rightly due to you or, if possible, help reinstate you in your position.

Every dismissal must be based on fair and legal grounds. Employment laws highlight that an employer may only dismiss an employee due to:

• Insufficient skills or qualifications.
• Conduct qualifying as gross misconduct.
• A genuine case of redundancy.
• Or some other significant reason.

However, if an employer can't provide a fair, legal reason for your dismissal, it could be classified as unlawful. Unlawful dismissals may include cases where you've been let go due to:

• Protected characteristics such as age, sex, race, pregnancy or maternity, religious beliefs, disability, gender reassignment, marital status or civil partnership, or sexual orientation.
• Whistleblowing or exposing illicit activities within the company.
• Filing a work-related personal injury claim.
• Being a member of a trade union or participating in short-term industrial action.
• Refusing to forfeit your working rights.

Exploring Unfair Dismissal Claims

So, you've been dismissed and you suspect it's been unjust. What next? You may have the basis for an unfair dismissal claim. However, it's crucial to note that you can only take legal action if you've been employed with the employer for a minimum of two years. The only exception to this rule is if the dismissal is tied to political opinions or affiliation.

Our role at Aticus Law is to be your dependable ally in this challenging situation. We'll help determine whether your dismissal was unfair and whether you're eligible to take legal action against your former employer. If you are, we'll take the reins and manage the claim process for you, working tirelessly to achieve the outcome you desire. This could range from re-engagement, reinstatement to your previous job, or financial damages. Because of the inherent strain these situations place on the employer-employee relationship, most claims tend to lean towards financial compensation.

Time Is of the Essence

The clock starts ticking fast in cases like these. Claims must be filed at the employment tribunal within three months less one day of your dismissal, which makes getting legal advice as soon as possible critical.
