EMPLOYMENT

The idea of ‘Master’ and ‘Servant’ has long been consigned to waste bin of history - despite some Employers’ belief to the contrary!

Employment Law can be a minefield for the employer, whatever size of your business. Our laws are becoming more and more influenced by European legislation, directives and decisions. Employees have rights which they are quick to assert and, if need be, enforce through the Courts or Employment Tribunal.

We can advise on Contracts of Employment which will provide you with a fair and proper framework for dealing with your employees. Should a dispute arise we can guide you on how best to resolve it without exposing you to potentially expensive and time-consuming litigation. If proceedings before a Tribunal or Court are inevitable, we will provide you with cost-effective representation. We have extensive experience of handling cases involving redundancy, unfair dismissal, sex and race discrimination and pregnancy related claims.

In situations where Employer and Employee agree on an amicable parting of the ways we can advise on the most effective Compromise Agreement and structure it to obtain any available tax saving.

Remember, employment problems can develop at any time and accordingly we are happy to advise Clients on a continuing basis on any matter connected with employment.
