  • you do not dispute the grounds of your dismissal; and
  • you have not been paid salary in lieu of notice (e.g. notice pay).
File a wrongful dismissal claim if you dispute your dismissal

You may file a wrongful dismissal claim if you were dismissed without just or sufficient cause for reasons such as discrimination, deprivation of employment benefit, or punishment for exercising your employment right. This includes situations where you resign involuntarily.

Valid reasons for dismissal include:

  • Misconduct;
  • Poor performance;
  • Redundancy


If you dispute the reasons for your dismissal, you are required to support your wrongful dismissal claim with evidence of personal accounts or documents (e.g. a termination letter or emails). After submitting your claim, TADM will assess the claim in accordance with the Tripartite Guidelines on Wrongful Dismissal. TADM will determine whether the case will be mediated at TADM or adjudicated at the Employment Claims Tribunals.
