Illegally dismissed from work. Where to apply?

Getting fired from your job can be a stressful experience, especially if you believe you were fired illegally. It is important to know your rights and take measures to protect them. Experts of the company "Prykhodko and partners" will help protect all your rights and restore justice.

What is illegal dismissal?

Dismissal is considered illegal if it was carried out without proper grounds or in violation of the established procedure.

Here are some common grounds for declaring a dismissal illegal:

1. Dismissal without grounds. An employer cannot fire you without a valid reason. Some legitimate reasons for dismissal include misconduct, disciplinary action, downsizing, etc.
2. Discrimination. Illegally firing someone because of their race, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics is a violation of employment law.
3. Violation of procedure. The employer is obliged to follow a certain procedure when dismissing an employee. This may include giving a written warning, conducting a disciplinary investigation and giving the employee an opportunity to speak..

Where to turn if you were fired illegally?

If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed, you can take the following steps:

1. Contact your employer. The first step should always be to try to resolve the issue directly with the employer. You can ask for a meeting to discuss the reasons for your termination and see if a compromise can be reached. To be sure, we recommend coming to a meeting with a lawyer from Prykhodko and Partners.
2. Contact the trade union. If you are a member of a trade union, it can help you resolve the issue with your employer. Trade unions can provide you with legal advice, represent you in negotiations with your employer and help you file a complaint with the relevant authorities.
3. Contact the state labor inspectorate. This is the body responsible for compliance with labor legislation. You can file a complaint with the State Labor Office if you believe that your dismissal was illegal. In this case, it will be a mistake to do everything without proper legal support - contact a lawyer.
4. Go to court. With the help of our lawyer, you can file a lawsuit if you believe that your rights have been violated.

It is important to know that you have a limited time to take action to protect your rights. Usually, you must file a complaint with the State Labor Office within one month of your dismissal, and a lawsuit within three months.
