Dismissal

A dismissal is the termination of a contract of employment by the employer. A dismissal may take many forms and it is not always necessary for the employer to expressly state that he is dismissing you – if you are on a forced term contract and your employer fails to renew it, or if you are forced to resign, or if your employer acts in a way which amounts to a fundamental breach of your contract of employment, you will be considered to have been dismissed.

If you are dismissed, you may want to consider whether you have any grounds for a claim for either unfair dismissal or wrongful dismissal.
