How To Deal With Unfair Dismissal
By Derek Both
Unfair dismissal is a tricky case and not many people know much about it which is why they seek the advice of unfair dismissal lawyers. Although you will need professional help if you decide to take your case further, there are a few things you should know to help you decide whether you have a case or not.
There is a correct procedure that employers must follow when they want to dismiss an employee. This includes sending a written statement detailing the reasons for why they want to dismiss or discipline you followed by a meeting to discuss the matter. Following this they must hold an appeal meeting in case you want to appeal your dismissal or discipline. If you think that the correct procedure has not been followed then unfair dismissal lawyers can help to clarify this with you.
It is important to remain professional and calm when going through this procedure because being hasty and irrational could affect your case and you could end up being worse off. Try to keep quiet about it as well to other employers at the company because chances are that your employer will hear this information through office gossip.
If you think that you have a case for unfair dismissal then it is important to act fast because you have three months to do so from when you were dismissed. You should take your complaint to an employment tribunal which is something that unfair dismissal layers can help you with.
If you win your case when you take it to an employment tribunal then you may either get your job back or get paid compensation. However, in order to get proper compensation you will have to prove that you tried to work things out with your former employer before you applied for the tribunal.
If you would rather not deal with the matter in this way then you could try to come to an agreement with your former employer. From here it is possible to go through a company grievance procedure. However, if this is not possible then you can get advice from a conciliation officer at the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas).
If you are still unsure about how to handle the situation then unfair dismissal lawyers will be able to advise you about what the best course of action is and how to handle the situation quickly and efficiently.
