Constructive Dismissal Case
Sometimes, even after you have tried everything to avoid a lawsuit, your circumstances do not allow you to successfully sue for constructive dismissal. In this situation, the law allows you to file a claim for wrongful termination, but the court will decide if you are actually being fired for legitimate reasons. It is important that you understand what constitutes as a legitimate reason for a constructive dismissal. There are three main factors which determine whether or not the action is valid. First, you must show that your employer waived your rights to sue for wrongful dismissal.
When your employer makes necessary changes to the terms of your contract, you must take action on it immediately, or you could even lose your right to sue. If you continue working without first being dismissed, you risk becoming second-class within the employment agreement. Second, your employer must prove that you have indeed been terminated in violation of your contract. The Employment Tribunal has very specific rules about what constitutes a valid contractual termination. Most common disputes deal with terminating an employee because you are owed a bonus or promotion, or if you have been performing poorly. You must show that the employer’s actions meet the legal requirements outlined in the contract.
An example of this would be if you were employed as a carpenter and you were informed that you would soon be receiving an additional two months of paid maternity leave. In this case, you likely would be able to sue for breach of contract because your contract says you can request an administrative suspension (which is essentially a pay raise) once you have given notice of the pregnancy. The Administrative Suspension Clause in your contract explicitly states that it gives you up to two months to apply for and receive an administrative suspension. This would clearly give you enough time to request an additional two months leave before your contract expires. Similarly, if you were fired from your job because your contract specified that you cannot discuss or consult with any other company for a certain period of time after being let go, this would clearly also allow you to sue for breach of contract.
How To Sue For A Constructive Dismissal Case Without Permission Or prejudice
These two scenarios clearly demonstrate that an employer is not allowed to simply fire employees for any reason whatsoever. The fundamental problem is that an employee feels they have been unfairly dismissed by their employer, and the only remedy they can receive in most cases is an unfair dismissal claim. The first step to filing for any form of employment-related claim is to carefully and thoroughly check out the laws and regulations governing the circumstances of your case. In most cases, it is best to hire a solicitor who is specialized in Employment Law, as this will ensure that all the compliances are met.
When you have done this, you should try to understand the process your solicitor will follow when handling the case. The solicitor will draft and file your application, and will prepare all the necessary documentation. It will then proceed to interview witnesses, inspect the employer’s workplace, collect any relevant evidence, and make any negative changes if warranted. In many cases, the employer may appeal against any negative changes, so it is always advisable to carefully read through the appeal document before filing.
If the employer does not agree with the initial findings of the court, they can request a trial. If either party does not accept the initial findings, the matter will be heard by the Employment Tribunal. This is the final opportunity for the employer to appeal against the decision regarding the case, but unless it is favourable, the decision is upheld. In order to win your constructive dismissal case without prejudice to the original decision, it is important that you are careful, thorough, and prepared from the very beginning.
