Disability Discrimination Case

[mechjerk]

I worked for a company for 12 months but they have no let me go. They haven't given a reason but I have proof it's disability related. I have been looking at taking them to court but I've been reading that I can't because I didn't work there for 2 years? Is that correct?

There are certain types of dismissals that are automatically unfair. This means that the employee does not have to have worked for 2 years in order to make a claim.

Examples include employees who are dismissed for any of the following reasons:-

They asked to be released for jury service;
The employee is pregnant or has recently given birth;
The employee was intending to take action to enforce a statutory right, such as the right to be paid the National Minimum Wage.

Also, regardless of length of service the law does not allow an employer to discriminate against an employee on the grounds of any protected characteristic, such as race, gender, religion, disability etc. So depending on the nature of your dismissal in relation to your disability it may be covered by the law.
