What constitutes unfair dismissal

Cormac_Doyle · 2012-12-07 04:47:48

If a person is "let go" following a valid and certified week-long hospitalisation this would normally be considered unfair dismissal. However, would the same hold true if the person was still within their 6-month probationary period ?

under a year an employee has few employment rights (re termination) unless they are pregnant.

After a year, the dismissal is assumed to be unfair unless the employer can prove otherwise, i.e. the law is on your side unless your employer can establish that it was fair (procedurally and in fact). It's whats known as a rebuttable presumption.
