Unfair dismissal occurs when an employee is dismissed from their job without a valid reason or without following the correct procedures. It is important to be aware of your rights as an employee to avoid being unfairly dismissed.
In most countries, there are laws in place to protect employees from unfair dismissal. These laws vary from country to country, but they generally require employers to have a fair reason for dismissing an employee and to follow a fair procedure. Generally, “fair reasons” include poor performance, misconduct, redundancy, or a fundamental breakdown in the employment relationship. Following a “fair procedure” generally means that the employee is given notice of the dismissal, the reasons for the dismissal, and an opportunity to appeal the decision.
