Of Interest
As of April 6th 2012, new legislation means that all new employees who begin employment on or after that date now must work be working in your business for 2 continuous years before they can claim unfair dismissal. Prior to the above date, it had only been one year. There are some exceptions as set out in s.108(3) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, including (but not limited too): redundancy due to pregnancy; parental leave; an employee refusing to opt-out of the 48 hour work week; whistle blowing and trade union membership.
