Employment rights

Unfair dismissal

Being dismissed without a fair reason, or without a fair process. Most claims need a minimum length of service with the employer, which the government has announced it will shorten. Some reasons, such as whistleblowing or pregnancy, are automatically unfair and need no minimum service.

A plain-English explanation of how this usually works in the UK, not legal advice. Rules change, so check your own situation. For free, impartial advice on work rights, try Acas. Disclaimer.
