Employers often think that they understand the legal obligations to which they are subject as a result of employing people. In reality, however, employment law is complex and employers can often get it wrong, inadvertently falling foul of the law and leaving staff confused, worried about the threat to their income, and somewhat out on a limb. It is easy to underestimate the tension that work place problems can cause amongst staff.
We offer a practical approach to everyday problems in the work place, between the employer and their employees, and we aim to advise the employer before they embark on a course of action they might later regret.
We can advise on the following:
- Contracts of employment
- Terminating contracts of employment
- Disciplinary procedures
- Employment tribunal procedure
- Defending an unfair dismissal claim
- Maternity and paternity rights
- Allegations of sex/age/racial/other discrimination
- Equal pay
- Bullying and harassment
- Health and safety
- Transfer of undertakings
- Advice on redundancy and compromise agreements
We can provide a free consultation to discuss any of the above and seek to offer solutions to help defuse the most sensitive of situations.
If you need advice and assistance regarding any employment issues, please feel free to contact our experienced employment team on 0114 256 1560 or email us at employment@wosskowbrown.co.uk
