By working with Manak Solicitors, employers can ensure they are fully informed and protected in relation to employment law and can avoid potential disputes and legal action.
Unfair dismissal in England refers to the termination of an employee's employment in a manner that is deemed to be unjust or unreasonable. The Employment of Employment Agreements Act 1996 provides the legal framework for such claims, which must be made within three months of the termination of employment.
It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure that dismissals are carried out fairly and in accordance with the law. This includes carrying out a fair investigation, providing the employee with an opportunity to respond to the allegations, and taking into account any mitigating circumstances.
The following are some common reasons for which a dismissal may be considered unfair:
1. Discrimination: An employee must not be dismissed on the grounds of race, religion, gender,
age, or any other form of discrimination.
2. Whistleblowing: An employee must not be dismissed for reporting illegal or unethical activity
within the workplace.
3. Health and safety reasons: An employee must not be dismissed for raising health and safety
concerns in the workplace.
4. Failure to follow proper procedure: If an employer fails to follow the correct procedure when
dismissing an employee, it may be considered unfair.
5. Automatically unfair dismissal: This includes dismissal due to pregnancy, trade union
membership, or asserting a statutory right.
If an employee feels that they have been unfairly dismissed, they can make a claim to an Employment Tribunal. The Tribunal will consider the evidence presented and make a decision as to whether the dismissal was fair or not. If the dismissal is found to be unfair, the Tribunal can award compensation to the employee.
In conclusion, it is important for employers to understand their obligations in relation to unfair dismissal and to ensure that they follow the correct procedures when terminating an employee's employment. Failing to do so can result in costly legal proceedings and a tarnished reputation.
