Wrongful Dismissal is often but should not be mistaken with Unfair Dismissal.  Wrongful Dismissal is based on contract law and involves the investigation of the employment contract.

There are many breaches made by an employer common ones include when an employee is dismissed without the proper notice being given. 

Either party can end the employment relationship if they give the necessary notice or in some conditions where the employee commits a breach of contract the employer is within their right to dismiss the employee so long as they have the necessary evidence to back up the breach.

Anything that breaches a mutual trust and confidence between employee and employer such as the goodwill between the parties which has to exist in the job can form a breach and if the employee accepts the breach by the employer and remains in their job, the employee can still seek compensation from the employer for the breach of their contract.

Examples include:

•  False allegations of misconduct.
•  Employee Harassement.
•  Unpaid wages 
• Changing the job or employment terms.
• Changing the work location without notice.

In cases of wrongful dismissal it is best to seek the advice of a trained professional in this field.
