Automatically unfair reasons for dismissal 


Dismissals for certain reasons are 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 dismissal because of a spent conviction, there is no service qualification to the right to claim unfair dismissal on one of the automatically unfair grounds. Instead, the right is available from day one of the employment.
