Understanding the differences between Wrongful Dismissal and Unfair Dismissal
These terms ‘Wrongful Dismissal’ and ‘Unfair Dismissal’ are often used interchangeably, but there are key differences between them:
A wrongful dismissal is when an employer has breached an employee’s contract of employment, and commonly occurs when the employer terminates the employee’s contract without notice or without sufficient notice. It can also occur if there have been other breaches of the contract.
Unfair dismissal is a term used to describe an unlawful termination of employment without a valid or justifiable reason. There are five fair reasons to terminate an employment contract, if your employer does not have a fair reason to terminate your employment, and/or does not follow a fair procedure, the dismissal may be unfair.
