Unfair and Wrongful Dismissal, Dispute Resolution
Kuits employment solicitors are experienced in resolving disputes for businesses arising out of an unfair and wrongful dismissal claim.Terminating the employment of a member of staff is not as simple as telling them to clear their desk and leave the premises. Employees in the UK have a significant amount of protection.
As an employer you must show that you have followed a fair dismissal procedure in the UK and that it was reasonable to dismiss the employee(s).
In addition, if an employee is dismissed without notice in circumstances not amounting to gross misconduct, they would have an additional claim for wrongful dismissal.
Because of the obvious 'human' element involved in employment, emotions often run high in a dismissal situation both on the part of the employer and the employee.
Our employment solicitors specialise in handling unfair and wrongful dismissal claims sensitively whilst delivering commercial and practical advice to employers.
We can assist you in creaing a bespoke disciplinary and dismissal procedure to help protect your business.
You should seek legal advice in this complex area to avoid the potential of unfair and wrongful dismissal claims against your business . To discuss your options contact:
