What is wrongful dismissal?
What is wrongful dismissal? wrongful dismissal, sometimes called wrongful termination or wrongful dismissal, is when you’re fired from your employer in violation of your employment agreement. Common examples of wrongful dismissal are: when an employee is fired for cause beyond their notice or entitlement period as outlined in their employment agreement. An employee may be terminated for cause in the case of: discrimination, harassment, or any other type of injustice including refusal to promotions or raises. In addition, wrongful dismissal may occur for just cause like: departure from employment without just cause, by a hired worker, due to health reasons, or any other reason that would justify and likely result in severe financial hardship to an employee.
If you think you have been unfairly dismissed from work, you should first consult with an employment attorney who specializes in unfair dismissal claims. If you think there might be a basis for a claim, your attorney will conduct an investigation to determine if you have a case. If your attorney determines you have a case, he or she will assist you in filing paperwork with your employer and will also advise you on the next steps to take. Most employers will settle out of court with little or no settlement.
How can I recover compensation for wrongful dismissal? In most cases, you will not be entitled to receive wrongful dismissal compensation until one month after the date you were terminated. This one-month waiting period applies even if you were let go for just cause – such as improper grooming, or poor performance. However, you may be able to recover damages for emotional distress, medical expenses, and property damage up to one year from the date you were notified.

Who is covered under the workers’ compensation law? According to South Carolina state law, all employees who have been working for an employer for one year are protected by the workers’ compensation law. An employee does not have to be working under an employer for one year in order to be protected. Employees who have been working with their employer for less than a year are not automatically protected under the law. However, if the employer has been negligent or had behaved in a way that caused injury to an employee, then it could result in financial benefits for the injured person.
How do I know whether I have a case? Usually you must hire an employment law solicitor to represent you in an official proceeding. If you would like to recover compensation for emotional distress, physical injury or property damage, you will need to approach an official tribunal within one month of being made aware of the situation. An online enquiry form can help you do this.
Is there any other way to recover compensation for emotional and physical harm endured as a result of a wrongful dismissal? Yes, but this is often an extremely difficult task. It is usually very difficult to prove that an employer was negligent and/or guilty of a breach of the employee’s right to work. Therefore, unless you have been working with an employer for at least one year, you will not be entitled to recover any form of monetary damages.
