Generally speaking, there are two types of employee dismissal. There is such a thing as legal or justifiable dismissal and an illegal dismissal. As per the United Kingdom Labour Law, the types of dismissals are further divided based on the cause of the employee's dismissal. A type of dismissal wherein employees can seek legal assistance from solicitors is the so-called constructive dismissal. It is a type of dismissal wherein the employee is forced to resign because of an employer's intolerable behaviour. An example of such is when the employer breaches the contract. Another is when the employer-employee trust and confidence have already been destroyed. Such often occurs when the employer is already becoming abusive, as well as discriminatory. In short, constructive dismissal is a situation wherein the employee already feels like he or she is being treated unfairly by the employer. However, such can only be justified by solicitors with the use of evidences and not just merely about gut feelings.

 

Employees can also schedule your consultation with an employment law solicitor if they are being dismissed wrongfully. Wrongful termination, in simpler terms, is a type of unlawful dismissal wherein the employee is being removed from his or her position or job without enough and reasonable notice of termination. The notice that should be given to an employee, however, depends on the number of years or months that the employee has been with the company. This type of illegal dismissal also does not cover those who are under a fixed contract. Exceptions to such also include employees who have been dismissed because of gross misconduct. Another type of illegal dismissal is the so-called unfair dismissal. This is exclusive for employees who have been working with the company for more than two years in a continuous period or manner.

 

Employees who can hire employment law solicitors yate in relation to such are those who have been terminated even though their qualifications and capabilities are enough to fulfil the job being handled. Such can also be considered unfair if the employee being terminated has no record of any type misconduct or has not violated any of the company policies or employment handbook guidelines, and the likes. However, before a dismissal can be considered unfair, a Tribunal team will review the situation thoroughly.
