Answer:
Your legal rights regarding unfair dismissal are primarily governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which you live or work. Depending on your location, you may have certain protections under state and/or federal law that prohibit employers from dismissing an employee without just cause. Generally speaking, it is considered an unlawful termination if you were dismissed based upon discrimination (e.g., race, gender, religion), retaliation for reporting illegal activity, violation of a contract (including written and/or implied terms) or whistleblowing activities. In addition to these protections, some jurisdictions also provide additional protection against unfair dismissals such as requiring employers to give notice before dismissing an employee or providing individuals with a right to appeal their dismissal in court. If you believe that your dismissal was unfair due to any of these factors then you should seek advice from a qualified attorney who can explain your rights and help ensure they are respected by your employer. Additionally, if there has been damage arising out of this situation (such as lost wages or emotional distress damages) then the attorney can advise how best to proceed towards obtaining compensation for those damages as well.
