Automatically unfair reasons for dismissal 




Dismissal and selection for redundancy for certain reasons is automatically unfair. If a dismissal is automatically unfair, the employer is not allowed to argue that a dismissal for that reason was reasonable. The main categories are described below. Except for dismissals relating to business transfers or spent convictions (both of which require two years’ service), no service is needed to claim automatically unfair dismissal. It is a “Day One” right.
