illegality

  • unfair dismissal

    If an employee began working after the 6th April 2012, they can only claim unfair dismissal after two years of continuous employment, whereas if they were employed prior to the 6th April 2012 then they can claim for unfair dismissal after one year of continuous employment.

    The costs incurred to an employer in relation to unfair dismissals depend on the circumstances. If the Tribunal decides you are liable, then you may be charged for the compensation award up to £72,300, as well as a basic award of up to £12,900. Although the maximum costs are only awarded in extreme cases, as the tribunal awards compensation based on the reasons for dismissal and the behaviour of the employer in the dismissal process.
