Unfair Dismissal Solicitors Belfast
Advice for employees and employers dealing with dismissal disputes in Belfast and across Northern Ireland.
Unfair dismissal advice in Belfast and Northern Ireland
Dismissal can have significant consequences for both an employee and an employer. Whether a dismissal may be unfair will depend on the reason for the dismissal, the procedure followed and the individual circumstances.
O’Hare Solicitors advises both employees and employers in Belfast and across Northern Ireland on unfair dismissal and related employment law issues.
Advice for employees
If you have been dismissed from your job and believe the decision or process may have been unfair, our solicitors can review the circumstances and advise on the options available.
Relevant issues may include the employer’s stated reason for dismissal, the disciplinary or consultation process followed, the evidence relied upon and whether the appropriate employment procedures were observed.
Advice for employers
We also advise employers on dismissal decisions and the procedures that should be followed before employment is terminated.
Taking advice at an early stage can help an employer understand its obligations, manage disciplinary or capability issues appropriately and assess the risk of a potential unfair dismissal claim.
Unfair dismissal claims
Where a dispute has arisen, our solicitors can advise on the merits of the respective positions, the evidence required and the appropriate process for pursuing or defending a claim.
The legal requirements, eligibility rules and time limits will depend on the circumstances and applicable Northern Ireland employment law, so specific advice should be sought promptly. For most unfair dismissal claims, you must bring the claim within three months from the effective date of termination. Therefore, you must act quickly to seek legal advice.
Dismissal and other employment issues
A dismissal dispute can overlap with other employment law matters. Depending on the circumstances, this may include discrimination, redundancy, contractual issues, disciplinary procedures or grievances.
Where another area of employment law is relevant, our solicitors can advise on the issues together rather than considering the dismissal in isolation.
