Unfair Dismissal and Constructive Dismissal

Unfair Dismissal and Constructive Dismissal

Losing your job is always stressful, but when it happens unfairly or due to an employer’s unreasonable behavior, it can feel deeply unjust. 

In the UK, the Employment Rights Act 1996 protects employees from unfair dismissal and constructive dismissal.

 At HPA Solicitors UK, we are here to guide and support you through the process of seeking justice.

Unfair Dismissal

Unfair dismissal occurs when an employer terminates an employee’s contract without a fair reason or fails to follow proper procedures.
Examples include:

  • Dismissal due to discrimination.
  • Dismissal without prior warnings or disciplinary procedures.
  • Termination for asserting statutory rights, such as requesting maternity leave.

Constructive Dismissal

Constructive dismissal happens when an employee resigns due to their employer’s serious breach of contract. This breach may include:

  • Harassment or bullying.
  • Unfair treatment or demotion without reason.
  • Unpaid wages or sudden changes in work terms.
