Employment Matters

We are able to advise both employers and employees on all matters concerning their contracts of employment.

Employment law is a rapidly developing area of law and is particularly affected by the influence of the EEC.

Employers

For employers it is extremely important to consider all the implications of any decision that may affect your employees before deciding what action to take. Even though the action you may be considering may seem fair and reasonable to you an Employment Tribunal may not agree. Even fair and reasonable actions can give rise to claims if the correct procedure is not followed. Since the raising of the financial limit on awards by Employment Tribunals mistakes can prove to be very costly.

If you are thinking of buying or selling a business the law imposes very strict obligations in relation to the transfer of employee’s contracts of employment which need to be considered at an early stage in any negotiations.

If you do receive a claim compensation by employees we are able to arrange for your representation before the Employment Tribunal.

Employees

Employees who have been unfairly treated by their employer may have a claim for compensation. The time limit for making a claim to the Employment Tribunal is very limited. If you believe that your have a claim then you should seek advice at the earliest possible opportunity.
