Employment Law Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to make an unfair dismissal claim?
You typically have 3 months less one day from the date of your dismissal to bring an unfair dismissal claim to an employment tribunal. It’s crucial to act quickly if you believe you’ve been unfairly dismissed. Our employment lawyers can help you understand your rights and guide you through the process.
What qualifies as constructive dismissal?
Constructive dismissal occurs when you’re forced to leave your job against your will due to your employer’s conduct. This could include situations where your employer significantly changes your job role without agreement, fails to pay you, or allows you to be harassed or bullied at work. If you’re considering resigning due to your employer’s behaviour, it’s important to seek legal advice first to understand your options.
Do I need a lawyer to review my settlement agreement?
While not legally required, it’s highly advisable to have a qualified employment lawyer review your settlement agreement. These agreements are legally binding and can have significant implications for your future employment and finances. Our experienced solicitors can ensure the terms are fair, negotiate better conditions if necessary, and explain any tax implications, helping you make an informed decision.
