wrongful dismissal

Wrongful dismissal occurs where an employer fails to fulfil their contractual obligations when dismissing an employee, for example by failing to give them his or her notice.

You can bring a claim for wrongful dismissal and seek damages in an employment tribunal, within three months of the date your employment is terminated, or the civil courts, within six years.

If your employer ends your employment because you have committed an act of gross misconduct, you are not entitled to notice or payment in lieu of notice.

However, in any other circumstances where your employer terminates your employment, they must allow you to work out your notice or pay you in lieu of notice.
