What is included
- Review of dismissal letter and employment papers
- Identification of deadlines and risks before you sign anything
- Proposed route when the matter is viable
I have been dismissed
Dismissal letter, settlement, payslips and doubts about next steps. We first check what you were given and which deadline is running; then we see whether to negotiate your exit or challenge the dismissal.
What we will organise
You were handed a letter citing a reason you do not recognise. You were dismissed verbally and have nothing in writing. A settlement was put in front of you and you were asked to sign today. Or they suggest you resign "to keep it simple". Each situation carries a different risk, and almost all of them have a short deadline.
Do not sign anything without reading it calmly. The first thing we do is identify the type of dismissal, check the settlement figures and calculate what you would be entitled to. With that you decide whether to negotiate, challenge or accept. The dismissals service handles the conciliation and, if needed, the claim with an employment lawyer.
What to have at hand
- The dismissal letter or the date you were told.
- Your contract and latest payslips.
- The settlement, even if you have not signed it.
