Loosing job
“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t loose faith.”
Losing your job can be a traumatic experience causing sleepless nights and agonizing dread in the pit of your stomach. There are times when an employee is laid off from a company whether it is due to the economy, changes in the industry, or changes in the company itself. In these types of cases, the employee has certain rights that must be honoured and protected. There are two important other aspects that should be looked into when an employee has been fired: an unfair dismissal or wrongful termination is a lawsuit that involves the illegal activity of the employer.
There have been changes to unfair dismissal over the years. It is therefore important that you receive advice specific to your situation. You may be able to seek a dismissal payout by contacting an employment law specialist. We have all heard of unfair dismissal right? That’s the phrase we use when someone is fired without just cause and without a proper warning. A fair dismissal most definitely is when an employer fires someone according to their policies and procedures. There are times though that even in these situations, employers can still be at fault.
Wrongful dismissal occurs when an employee claims to have been wrongfully terminated by his or her employer. It is important to note what wrongful does not mean. Wrongful dismissal is a distinction in law from an employee's claim of being dismissed unlawfully, or dismissal on the grounds of discrimination, including that based upon race, national or ethnic origin, gender, age or because of disability. In these instances, it is arguable that the dismissal is not ‘wrongful’ and there are other remedies available such as complaining to ACAS prior to resorting to Employment Tribunal proceedings.
Nowadays, many of us rely on our employer for everything — but what happens when problems arise? Do you know where to draw the line or how to stay in your rights? Employment law refers to all UK laws concerning people’s employment status. This includes their rights, duties and responsibilities, which are intended to balance the relationship between employers and employees.
