Employment

We advise both employers and employees in relation to all legal aspects of Employment Law. Often our instructions are received once difficulties have been encountered and either the employer wants to take action to dismiss the employee or the employee is being threatened with dismissal.

Often prevention is better than cure and we would recommend that both employers and employees take legal advice before entering into a Contract of Employment to make sure that the documents that they sign properly reflect the agreement that they have reached and set out a proper framework for handling problems, which may arise during the course of the employment.

Of course problems do occur and then we attempt to deal with these as efficiently and as sympathetically as possible.

If you are an employee and feel that you have been badly treated by your employer we will advise you on your remedies and if necessary take your case to the Employment Tribunal to recover compensation for unfair dismissal, redundancy payments, compensation for sexual or racial harassment or for unpaid wages, holiday or pay in lieu of notice.

We can normally conduct this work on a "No Win No Fee" basis so if the application is unsuccessful it will not cost you anything.

If you are an employer we can act on your behalf in defending employees’ claims at the Employment Tribunal at a very competitive charging rate.

To make an appointment telephone on 016973 42121 and ask for David Hart or his secretaries Elaine Hall or Lindsay Carruthers or send an email to us.
