Small businesses (less than 15 employees) have a 12 month qualifying time for employees before they can make an unfair dismissal claim. Larger businesses will have a 6 month qualifying time for employees before they can make an unfair dismissal claim. A Small Business Fair Dismissal Code has been introduced. It has been recommended that this process be followed to avoid unfair dismissal issues. Operational reasons by itself will no longer be a reason for termination. FWA will be responsible for dealing with unfair dismissal claims.
