There are numerous factors that can determine whether your termination was unfair or not, as there may be several factors that can make a dismissal unfair. For example, if you feel that there were no flaws with your job performance and yet your employer used unfair or unjustifiable reasons to terminate you, it would be considered unfair dismissal. Also, every company has a certain dismissal procedure that they have to follow when terminating an employee. When your employer does not abide by the rules and regulations of the company, it is considered to be unfair dismissal.
