Unfair & Wrongful Dismissal Claims for Employees
Contact one of our employment law solicitors in Matlock to recieve legal advice on unfair dismissal claims.
It can be a very difficult time when you are having issues with your employment however handing in your notice may not be the best course of action. If you do hand in your notice, then you can lose the right to bring claims that could have brought. If you have been dismissed, you only have a short timescale to act and therefore you must seek legal advice as soon as possible.

To claim unfair dismissal, you must have been an employee, have been dismissed and also worked there for a period of at least 2 years.

Wrongful dismissal is a dismissal in breach of contract. If you are successful, then you are entitled to all of the benefits that you would have received if you remained employed until the end of your notice period or the end of the fixed term.
This may be granted on the basis that your employer failed to follow the contractual disciplinary or dismissal procedure, loss of chance to remained employed or loss of change to claim unfair dismissal.
