Constructive unfair dismissal

If your current situation feels so bad that you want to resign, you could claim constructive unfair dismissal. But to do this you’ll need to take decisive action and leave your role, citing that you consider yourself ‘constructively unfairly dismissed’.

It’s a bold move.

Don’t take this step before speaking to our partners, to make sure it’s the right decision. We’ve represented hundreds of employees who have been constructively unfairly dismissed for things such as:

• being suddenly demoted without reason and with no due process being followed.

• not being paid, being consistently paid late, or not receiving the full amount due.

• being bullied, harassed and discriminated against.

• not being provided with a safe place of work, with proper safety equipment and procedures.

• changing the place of work or hours without consent.

• persistently excessive work-load.

• raising a grievance and the employer failing to investigate it.

Wrongful dismissal

Your employment contract is the roadmap for your employee/employer relationship. If your employer dismisses you without following the dismissal process in your contract (processes like completing the correct procedure and giving you the right notice period) we can guide you through a wrongful dismissal claim to seek compensation.

Unfair dismissal

Your employer must have a fair reason for your dismissal. And follow a transparent, reasonable process. If they don’t, and you have two or more years of continuous employment with them, you have the right to claim for unfair dismissal.

We’ll support you throughout this stressful process and do our utmost to protect your career and professional reputation.
