Common Scenarios
What Happens If You Are Unfairly Dismissed?
Employees with at least two years' continuous service have the right not to be unfairly dismissed. If your employer dismisses you without fair reason or a fair procedure, you may be entitled to compensation.
My Employer Keeps Cancelling My Shifts at Short Notice
You are on a zero hours contract and your employer repeatedly cancels or reduces shifts at the last minute, often with no compensation. You want to know your legal position.
When to Get Legal Advice
Employers should consult an employment solicitor or HR specialist when dismissing an employee who has more than two years' service, since unfair dismissal claims can be costly. Legal advice is also strongly recommended when dealing with potential discrimination claims, whistleblowing disclosures, or TUPE transfers. Getting the process right at the outset is far cheaper than defending a tribunal claim.
