In the UK it's usually only after 2 years at a company can you go to an employment tribunal for unfair dismissal. (You can go to a tribunal however claiming discriminatory dismissal/whistleblowing/H&S (and a few more categories) under 2 years.). AFAIK there is nothing special about 1 year (and probationary periods ending are merely contractual. What usually changes is benefit entitlement, notice periods etc) Also, tribunal fees are also quite expensive: £390 for unpaid wages, £1,200 for unfair dismissal. Further, employers can just make you quit through a series of changes in your job. Constructive dismissal I imagine is quite difficult for the employee to prove.
