Frequently Asked Employment Law Questions

Every employment dispute is different. We offer a free 30 minute discussion with a qualified solicitor where we will be happy to answer your questions.

Unfair dismissal is based on your statutory rights (the Law governing all employees) whereas wrongful dismissal is based on the specific contract you have with your employer. To bring a claim for unfair dismissal in the UK, you must have been employed for a minimum of 2 years with your employer. There is no minimum employment period for bringing a claim of wrongful dismissal.

In the UK you must have 2 years continuous service with your employer to qualify for statutory redundancy pay. This is the minimum amount you are entitled to under Law. It is calculated based on your age, number of years of service, and your weekly pay (up to a maximum of £751).

Under the Equality Act 2010, employers must not treat people differently in terms of pay, recruitment, or dismissal based on what are called Protected Characteristics. These include:

  • Age
  • Race
  • Religion
  • Disability
  • Pregnancy or maternity
  • Sexual orientation
  • Gender reassignment

A settlement agreement is a legally binding agreement that is used to settle an employment dispute and end your employment. As part of the settlement agreement you receive a financial package in return for agreeing to waive your right to bring a claim in Court or an employment tribunal.
