Generally, when an employee has over two years’ continuous employment, they have the right not to be unfairly dismissed. There are three different ways an employee can be dismissed, but this blog deals exclusively with termination by the employer and what an employer has to show to evidence such a dismissal was fair.
There has been a great deal of reporting about employment status in the news recently. In reality, this might not be something you think about when everything is going well. However, if things go wrong or you find yourself in dispute with your employer, your employment status will have a significant impact on what options are available to you.
If your employer has been through an internal process which has resulted in your redundancy dismissal, you will often be given the right to appeal that decision. At Lincs Law Employment Solicitors, we want to help and we set out in this post guidance to help you with your redundancy appeal.

I am still surprised by the number of clients who are unclear on their employment status and the rights their status provides.
