Legal actions available

An employee who has been dismissed from their employment may pursue a number of claims. Because of the range of options available to a dismissed employee, choosing the appropriate form of relief to pursue can be difficult.

The cost, time and complexity of the different applications, as well as the potential remedies, will need to be considered.

Regard should also be had to the time limit for each cause of action.
