Gepp Solicitors - Solicitors in Chelmsford, Essex

Being dismissed from work is an upsetting and frustrating experience for anyone. But it can be particularly distressing if your employer has breached your employment contract and dismissed you when they had no legal right to do so.

At Gepp Solicitors, we have handled countless wrongful dismissal claims in our decades of employment law experience.

We can help you challenge your dismissal and claim compensation for loss of earnings and other benefits you would have accrued had your contract been properly carried out, such as holiday pay, private health insurance, and pension losses.

Compensation

Compensation is limited to financial losses from lack of notice (e.g. wages, benefits, or bonuses that would have been earned during the notice period). It does not cover emotional distress or injury to feelings, unlike unfair dismissal claims.

By focusing on a breach of the contractual terms, wrongful dismissal provides protection, even if the dismissal itself might be fair or justified. However, it is often pursued alongside unfair dismissal claims when an employee has been employed for two years of more.

Wrongful Dismissal Claims FAQs

Case Study

We acted for a client who, had a 6 month notice period in her contract of employment. Her employers tried to dismiss her from her position without reason and without following due process. Whilst our client did not have 2 years’ service, she was able to bring a claim for wrongful dismissal as, her employers had breached the contract of employment for failing to provide our client with the requisite notice or make a PILON payment. After putting a strong case forward for our client, an agreement was reached where our client was paid her full notice pay, release from the restrictive covenants in her contract and a basic reference.
