Dismissed or disciplined?

Has your employer told you the reason for this in writing?  Have they invited you to a meeting to discuss the issues?  Were you told all of the issues in advance and allowed to take a colleague with you? In most cases the employer must do all of the above before they can dismiss or discipline fairly. If the complaint is abut your behaviour the employer must conduct a reasonable investigation and establish grounds for any action against you. If the complaint is about your abilities then the employer must give you a reasonable opportunity to improve. Contact us for further details and a free 15 minute telephone consultation.

Not getting the right pay or promotion? Are your complaints being ignored?

Put your grievance in writing. Your employer will have to deal with the issue and invite you to a meeting to discuss it. If this does not resolve the issue, contact us for further advice. You may have a claim at an Employment Tribunal.

Going to resign?  Happy to go or being forced out?

If you are being forced out, then think carefully before resigning. You will need to put your complaint in writing 28 days before issuing a claim. This type of claim is called 'constructive dismissal' and is often hard to prove.
