Unfair dismissal: effective date of termination
Updating author: Max Winthrop
Summary
This guide sets out how to determine the effective date of termination. To bring an unfair dismissal claim, an individual must normally have a minimum of two years' service ending with the effective date of termination and present their claim within three months of the effective date of termination. This means that determining the effective date of termination can be an important preliminary issue in an unfair dismissal claim.
