What to know if you've just been dismissed

Understanding your rights and the options available after losing a job.

Being dismissed raises immediate practical questions — was it handled properly, what notice or pay are you owed, and is it worth challenging.

A short conversation with a solicitor can clarify where you stand before any deadlines pass.

What this covers
  • Whether your dismissal followed a fair process
  • Notice pay and final pay entitlements
  • Whether you may have an unfair dismissal claim
  • Time limits for bringing a claim
Employment tribunal time limits are short — usually three months less one day. It's worth checking your position early.
