<p>The qualifying periods are intended to strike the right balance between ensuring
fairness for employees and providing flexibility to employers.</p><p> </p><p>It is
important to note that no qualifying period applies if a dismissal is for certain
specified reasons which are particularly serious, or because employees have claimed
another statutory employment right, for example the right not to be unlawfully discriminated
against or to request flexible working. We believe this provides the right balance
for employers and employees.</p>
