Therefore, an employer cannot impede any employee\u2019s membership or non-membership of a trade union or participation in trade union activities, such as protected industrial action and collective bargaining arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employers are also prohibited from compiling, using, selling or supplying blacklists of trade union members or activists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-under-other\">Under \u2018other\u2019<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, unfortunately, we would have to add that infamous heading \u2018other\u2019 to both ACAS and .gov.uk\u2019s lists, as both fail to mention agency workers, zero-hour contracts, pension auto-enrolment or where an employee asserts a statutory right (such as the right to receive a written statement of particulars of employment or not to have an unlawful deduction from wages). A dismissal will also be automatically unfair if an employer selects the employee for redundancy based on any of the grounds we have listed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-so-what-are-the-fair-reasons-for-dismissal\">So, what are the \u2018fair\u2019 reasons for dismissal?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/1996\/18\/contents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Employment Rights Act 1996<\/a>, dismissal is usually deemed fair if an employer can demonstrate that it dismissed the employee for one of the five potentially fair reasons for dismissal and that it acted fairly and reasonably in treating that reason as sufficient to justify the dismissal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The five potentially fair reasons for dismissal are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>conduct<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>capability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>illegality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>redundancy; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>some other substantial reason<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-else-do-i-need-to-know\">What else do I need to know?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: in an automatically unfair dismissal claim, the requirement for reasonableness (required for usual unfair dismissal claims) is not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where dismissal relates to an employee\u2019s political opinion or affiliation or to an employee\u2019s membership of the reserve forces, the employee doesn\u2019t need two years of service. However, these are not classed as \u2018automatically unfair\u2019 dismissals and still require the employee, in either case, to show that the employer did not act reasonably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If an employee is dismissed in circumstances where they would qualify for suspension on medical grounds, the qualifying length of service to bring an unfair dismissal claim changes to one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-you-have-been-dismissed-or-want-to-dismiss-someone-call-karen-cole-today-to-discuss-your-rights\">If you have been dismissed or want to dismiss someone, call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riaabarkergillette.com\/uk\/our-team\/karen-cole\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Karen Cole<\/a> today to discuss your rights.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-note-this-is-not-legal-advice-it-is-intended-to-provide-information-of-general-interest-about-current-legal-issues\"><em>Note: This is not legal advice; it is intended to provide information of general interest about current legal issues.<\/em><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In general, to bring an unfair dismissal claim, an employee must have worked for an employer for at least two years.
