If you are an employee looking for advice please visit our employee section.
We recognise that organisations have different approaches to managing their staff. Even if you employ qualified Human Resource specialists, it is likely that you will need to obtain professional employment law advice from time to time for issues such as compromise agreements, contracts of employment or redundancies. Gaining legal advice early could save you considerable time and money later.
Employment law is constantly changing and is often described as a “minefield”. It can be complex and confusing and we find that business owners and managers simply do not have the resources to translate it all into practice.
As employees’ awareness of their rights grows and they become increasingly prepared to seek legal redress, it is vital that employers stay abreast of developments in employment law.
With approximately 100,000 applications annually to Employment Tribunals and some awards being unlimited, employers need to be fully and properly advised.
Our HR and employment law team provides practical advice on aspects of all employment law, including:
- Breach of Contract
- Compromise Agreements
- Contracts of Employment
- Data Protection
- Directors’ Service Agreements
- Disciplinary Action and Grievance Procedures
- Discrimination (age, disability, race, religious belief, sex or sexual orientation)
- Employment Tribunals
- Equal Pay
- Family Friendly Policies
- Maternity Leave and Pay
- Minimum Wage
- Paternity Leave
- Redundancy
- Restrictive Covenants
- Staff Handbooks
- Trade Unions
- Transfer of Undertakings (TUPE)
- Unfair Dismissal
- Whistleblowing
- Wrongful Dismissal
