Unfair Dismissal
An unfair dismissal is a termination whose justification does not meet the requirements of Luxembourg law, notably due to the lack of real and serious reasons. This issue must be distinguished from a procedural irregularity, which may have its own consequences without automatically rendering the dismissal unfair.
The challenge falls under the jurisdiction of the competent Labor Court and is subject to a specific timeline. Prepare the letters, remuneration documents, elements related to the reasons, and the claimed damages. Do not confuse this action for compensation with a request for nullity specific to certain protections.
