Claims for Arbitrary Dismissal
In order for you to make an arbitrary dismissal claim, our lawyers will compile and present sufficient relevant evidence showing the employer committed a breach of the employment contract which resulted to your resignation. Take note: you must provide the requisite duration of service before a claim is filed.
Also, even if you think your case is solid for arbitrary dismissal, it’s important that you seek legal advise before tendering your resignation.

Prior taking any action, call our office so we can schedule a consultation to discuss your eligibility for making a claim and the possible compensation for settlement.

- Pregnant or on maternity leave;
- You took an action over issues regarding workplace health and safety;
- Disclosure of information related to contraventions in the workplace;
- Request for rights to be addressed e.g. to receive medical insurance
