The day the termination notice is served is the starting point for many time limits in employment law. Recording the date on which, and the manner in which, you received the notice is therefore the first step.
Next, gather the documents you hold: the employment contract, payslips, the termination notice, any request for a written defence, the social security entry and exit declarations, and whatever records exist of working hours. These documents determine the value of the file.
If you wish to seek reinstatement, you must apply to a mediator within one month of service of the termination notice. This is a forfeiture period; once missed, the route to reinstatement closes and only claims for compensation may be pursued.
Do not attend the mediation session unprepared. To assess any offer made, you need to have the approximate value of your claims calculated beforehand; otherwise there is a real risk of settling well below the true value.
