1. This is guidance — and only ever guidance

Everything produced by ukworkrights.co.uk is general guidance. It is not legal advice. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified solicitor. Never treat it as the final word — use it as a starting point, then check and take responsibility for any action you take.

2. AI can make mistakes

The guidance is generated by artificial intelligence. AI can and does make mistakes — wrong dates, wrong figures, wrong legal references, missed nuances. Read everything carefully. If the matter is serious, get it checked by ACAS, Citizens Advice, or a qualified solicitor before acting on it.

3. Verified figures and guidance sources

Statutory figures (such as rates for minimum wage, SSP, redundancy, pension contributions, council tax bands, flight compensation amounts, and benefit rates) are verified against GOV.UK, ACAS, Citizens Advice, and relevant regulatory bodies. Laws and rates change regularly. Always verify important figures at gov.uk before making decisions or taking action.

4. Your description stays private

The situation you describe is used to generate your guidance and is then discarded. It is never stored or shared. Any informal language, slang, or strong emotion in your description will not appear in the output.

5. Your responsibility

By using this service you accept that you will treat all output as general guidance only, verify important information with official sources, and seek professional legal advice for serious or complex matters. ukworkrights.co.uk accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of or reliance on this service.

Unfair dismissal occurs when your employer dismisses you without a fair reason or without following a fair procedure. You currently need 2 years of continuous service to claim — this reduces to 6 months from January 2027.

Fair reasons for dismissal include capability, conduct, redundancy or some other substantial reason. Even with a fair reason the procedure must be fair — including investigation, written notice, a disciplinary hearing, right to be accompanied and right of appeal.

⚖ Compensation: Maximum compensatory award is £123,543 from April 2026. This cap is abolished from January 2027. You must contact ACAS within 3 months less 1 day of dismissal.
