How Can Employment Law Help Me?

Employment law covers all issues that occur in the workplace; whether you work for a small company or are part of a giant corporation. Employment law serves to protect both the employer and employee, dealing with their rights, duties, and obligations. It also covers matters of legislation, statutory authorities, regulations of conduct and the actual processes through which the law is administered and followed.

Employment law is there to:

• Prevent discrimination
• Promote health and safety
• Establish a minimum required level for economic support
• Prevent work disruption due to disputes between labour and management

Areas that our employment lawyers advise employees on include:

Workplace grievances

A workplace grievance is any kind of workplace issue, problem or concern that you raise with your employer. This could be in connection with your workload, working environment or the other people that you have to work with.

Disciplinary proceedings

Disciplinary proceedings are used by employers to deal with problems involving the work or the behaviour of their staff, such as poor performance. Disciplinary action varies according to the circumstances, from a written warning to dismissal.

Unfair dismissal

If you feel that your dismissal was unfair, please contact one of our specialist employment law solicitors, who will be able to help you. Unfair dismissal occurs when an employee is not given proper notice of the termination of their employment, or when the termination itself was unjustified.

Constructive dismissal

You may have a case for constructive dismissal if you were forced to resign from your job because of the conduct of your employer, which must constitute a serious breach of your contract of employment.

Redundancy

Redundancy means that an employee is being dismissed because their employer no longer requires anyone to carry out that role, i.e. the job itself will no longer exist.

Settlement agreements

A settlement agreement brings the relationship between employer and employee to a formal end. It records in detail any settlement that you have reached with your former employer.
