What is unfair dismissal?
Unfair dismissal occurs when an employer terminates an employee’s contract with no fair reason or fails to follow the proper procedures. It typically applies to employees who have been with the company for a minimum period, usually one year, and includes dismissals for reasons such as discrimination, retaliation or failing to provide a valid justification.
What is wrongful dismissal?
Wrongful dismissal refers to a breach of the terms of the employment contract, such as not giving the required notice period. It doesn’t consider the reasons for the dismissal but focuses solely on whether the employer adhered to the contractual obligations.
Wrongful dismissal claims can be pursued by employees regardless of their length of service.
What is constructive dismissal?
Constructive dismissal occurs when an employee resigns due to intolerable working conditions created by the employer, effectively forcing the resignation. This can include harassment, significant changes to job duties and unreasonable work demands.
