What is Unfair Dismissal?

Unfair dismissal is a statutory right that enables employees to make a claim if they believe they have been unfairly dismissed or made redundant. This often results in an Employment Tribunal hearing, which will decide the outcome of your claim.

Unfair dismissal claims often occur on the grounds of:
•    Discrimination - on the basis of gender, race, age, disability, religion or sexual orientation
•    Unfair redundancy
•    Incorrect dismissal process
•    Maternity or  paternity leave
•    Whistle blowing
•    Grievance hearings
•    Refusing to do shop or betting work on a Sunday
•    A minimum notice period
•    Time off for dependants

Can I Make an Unfair Dismissal Claim?

Unfair dismissal and redundancy claims can only be pursued if you have been in your role for at least 12 months. If you are unsure whether you are eligible to make a claim, the employment solicitors at Clough & Willis will assess your case and identify the next steps to take.

The contact for my name change and divorce was Marie Whittaker who again was completely professional and gave me complete confidence from out first meeting. My divorce proceeded smoothly, quickly and efficiently. I was updated regularly by letters and phone calls.

From first contact to the last, everyone has been very professional and reassuring through what has been an emotional and stressful time for us and without the help of your company it would have been much more difficult for me and my husband.

I was very impressed with your firm at the outset when I first called in November 2009 after my uncles death. All staff from the receptionist and secretary through to the Partners were professional, friendly and helpful and provided the best response out of the 3 Bury firms I called.

Lorraine, I would just like to say "thank you very much" for all your hard work and assistance in the letting of the above property. The negotiations were somewhat protracted, due to a breakdown on my client's side, and I feel that your persistence and hard work led to the eventual lease completion. I look forward to working with you in the near future. Kind regards, Neil Higson, for and on behalf of Nolan Redshaw Ltd
