How can SOSR be fair given i have done nothing wrong , i have capability for the role and while i was off they made the roles redundant
In your situation, the fairness of a dismissal under "Some Other Substantial Reason" (SOSR) depends on the employer's justification and attempts to find you a suitable alternative role. Here are some points to consider:
- Justification: SOSR must be a genuine and reasonable reason for dismissal, not arbitrary or unjust.
- Capability: Your ability to return to work should be acknowledged.
- Redundancy: You may have rights regarding redundancy consultation even if backfilled.
It might be beneficial to consult with an employment law solicitor to explore your rights and potential claims further. Would you like help connecting with a local lawyer?
