The laws regarding unfair dismissal of an employee vary from state to state. Generally, each state has certain regulations in place that govern the circumstances under which a dismissal may be considered “unfair” and what remedies are available for the aggrieved employee. In [relevant jurisdiction], employers have an obligation to provide a fair process before termination of employment occurs and must follow specific procedures in order to properly terminate an employee’s contract or agreement.
Generally speaking, for a termination of employment to qualify as unlawful or unfair it must breach one or more provisions outlined in relevant legislation or common law principles such as: unjustifiable conduct by the employer; violation of procedural fairness; automated termination without consideration of individual circumstances; failure to offer reasonable notice period before terminating employment; wrongful dismissal (termination without cause); discrimination on any grounds including gender, race, disability etc.; unequal treatment based on performance compared with other employees; unconscionable conduct related to the particular job type e.g., failing to pay wages due at the appropriate time or deceiving workers about terms and conditions associated with their position etc.; interference into union activities by employers.
If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed from your job, please seek legal advice from a qualified attorney who can review your case and advise on whether there is grounds for making a claim against your former employer for damages/compensation arising out of any alleged breach/breaches identified above. Please note that there may be limitation periods applicable in relation to such claims so early action is recommended if possible. Additionally, some workplace tribunals may require mediation prior to taking up matters – this should also be taken into account when considering potential remedies available
