You have to have worked for employer for at least two years unless it is automatically

you don’t need to have worked for your employer for 2 years if your claim is because of:

a reason that’s always ‘automatically unfair’
discrimination
Check if it’s ‘automatically unfair’Add reference
It’s always ‘automatically unfair’ if you had to resign due to being treated unfairly in a way that amounts to a breach of contract because you:

are pregnant or on maternity leave
have asked for your legal rights at work, eg to be paid minimum wage
took action about a health and safety issue
work in a shop or a betting shop and refused to work on a Sunday
are a trade union member and took part in trade union activities including official industrial action or you were acting as an employee representative
have reported your employer for wrongdoing, which is called whistleblowing
If you’ll have worked for your employer for at least 2 years when your job ends, it’s also automatically unfair if you’re dismissed because:

the business was transferred to another employer
you didn’t declare a spent conviction
Check for discriminationAdd reference
You can make a constructive dismissal claim if you resigned because your employer discriminated against you.

It might be discrimination if you were treated unfairly because you are or are seen to be:

pregnant or on maternity leave
from a particular race, ethnicity or country
married or in a civil partnership
a man or a woman
disabled
lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans (LGBT)
have a particular religion or set of beliefs
older or younger than the people you work with
