Well, one Birmingham man won his unfair dismissal case against his former employees from beyond the grave!

Yes, you are reading that correctly; a telecoms engineer for a large Birmingham telecommunications company who died two years ago has been successful in a case that his parents have been battling for on his behalf, both before and after he died.

Contact a Birmingham employment solicitor today if you or a loved one feel as if you have been unfairly dismissed from work, to see if you can claim the compensation that you deserve.

The engineer in question died at age 27 after taking time off to go on kidney dialysis sessions; he alleged that he used to get nasty comments from his employers and co-workers claiming that he was not really very ill and that he did not deserve to get the time off. He eventually ended up getting the sack from his position at the company and decided to pursue legal action against his employers.

He temporarily recovered after a successful kidney transplant from his Father, yet died six months later from an infection. An unfair dismissal case against the company was continued by his parents. They stated that they, 'did not do it for the money' when questioned about there decision to pursue the case and that all they wanted was to clear his name, which they did by winning the case.

This was not the only recent case of a deceased worker winning an unfair dismissal case; a black postal worker who killed himself a few years ago because his white colleagues had been bullying him one a racial discrimination case against his employers, after he had died.

While you may not have been pushed to suicide or other forms of death, yet you may have already been 'let go' unfairly or be feeling as if your employers are not treating you as they should be.

Usually, you will need to have had one year's continuous service before you can make a complaint to an employment tribunal, but if you are being dismissed for any of the andlsquo;automatically unfairandrsquo; reasons, then according to employment law there is no minimum service requirement. Employees who are dismissed and have completed at least one year's continuous employment are entitled to receive, on request (orally or in writing), a statement of reasons for dismissal within 14 days.
