Employment law is something which affects most of us at some time during our lives, and it is the area of law that is probably the most complex and the most frequently changed and added to. So getting the right legal advice in this field can be quite difficult.

Amongst the most common legal issues that fall under employment law are:

Unfair and constructive dismissal

What is unfair dismissal?

There are several instances where dismissal could be deemed unfair and they usually fall under on the following:

Your employer did not have a good reason for dismissing you.

Your employer did not follow the correct procedure when dismissing you and/or acted unreasonably.

You were dismissed for an automatically unfair reason, e.g. maternity leave.

What is constructive dismissal?

Constructive dismissal is another form of unfair dismissal whereby the employee feels compelled to resign from their job due to their employer’s behaviour.

Generally, the actions of the employer must amount to a fundamental breach of contract and can include:

Harassing, humiliating or victimising particular members of staff.

Altering the employee’s job specification or contract terms without consultation.

Changing the job location at short notice.

Excessive disciplinary actions such as demotion.

Falsely accusing an employee of misconduct.

Can I claim for unfair dismissal?

To be entitled to make an unfair dismissal claim and eventually go to an employment tribunal there are certain conditions that must apply to your employment circumstances and the manner in which you were dismissed...

Discrimination in the workplace is taken extremely seriously by the authorities, and there are several laws and regulations in place to protect employees from being treated unfavourably. Under employment law, employers are not allowed to discriminate against certain employees because of their:

gender

family situation

race

colour

disability

sex

age

religion or belief

ethnic background

nationality

sexual orientation

pregnancy
