Constructive Dismissal Lawyers
When a Dismissal May Be Unfair
Employers must have both a fair reason and a fair process when dismissing someone. If either is missing, the dismissal may be unfair.
Examples can include situations where your employer:
- Did not have a valid reason for dismissal
- Failed to follow a proper disciplinary or redundancy process
- Acted inconsistently or unreasonably
- Ignored important evidence or your explanation
- Appeared to reach a decision before hearing your side
Every matter depends on its facts and legal advice can help clarify whether your treatment was unfair and if you have grounds for a claim.
Losing your job in a way that feels unfair can come as a shock, it can affect your finances, confidence and future plans, as well as your life outside work.
If you believe you were dismissed unfairly or felt you had no choice but to resign, it is important to understand where you stand legally, early advice can allow you to make informed decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a time limit to bring a claim?
Yes. In most cases, you have three months less one day from the date your employment ended to start a claim for unfair or constructive dismissal. Before going to tribunal, you usually need to begin ACAS Early Conciliation, because deadlines are strict, it is important to get legal advice as soon as possible.
What is constructive dismissal?
Constructive dismissal happens when an employee resigns because their employer has seriously breached their contract or undermined trust and confidence. Examples can include bullying, not paying wages or making major changes to job duties without agreement. In these situations, the law may treat your resignation as a dismissal.
What is unfair dismissal?
Unfair dismissal happens when an employer dismisses an employee without a fair reason or without following a fair process. In the UK, fair reasons can include conduct, capability, redundancy or another substantial reason, but employers must also act reasonably and follow proper procedures. If they do not, the dismissal may be legally unfair.
