There can be a number of reasons why your employer has decided to dismiss or discipline you, but these may not be the reasons you have been given.

Your unfair dismissal may have been connected to you raising a complaint about health and safety, or about your rights, or as a result of a sale of your employer's business, or simply because you did not get on with your manager.

You may also have been forced to resign due to your employer's unreasonable behaviour.

Your employer may also have failed to follow proper procedures prior to terminating your employment or unfairly selected you for redundancy.

These are all potentially unfair reasons for you losing your job and you could be entitled to unfair dismissal compensation.
