As many employers are aware, this has increasingly developed into a complex and diverse area of law as employment laws and regulations are constantly changing. We have many years of practical employment law experience and can help to advise employers and employees on their rights and responsibilities.
We offer advice and assistance across the full spectrum of employment areas, including unfair dismissal, redundancy, and racial, age, sex, disability and religious discrimination, where often complex procedures have to be followed. We also deal with claims involving equal pay, whistle-blowing, bullying, harassment and victimisation, working time regulations, flexible working, minimum wage, sick pay, maternity and parental leave.
If you as employer are considering disciplinary action or dismissal of an employee, it is essential that you take legal advice on the strict legal requirements to avoid claims being brought against you and serious financial penalties being imposed and we are able to assist here.
If you have a grievance against your employer, we can advise you on your rights and the correct procedures to follow.
We have expertise in drafting and reviewing contracts of employment, and in all types of dispute arising out of these.
We also advise employers and employees in connection with Compromise Agreements and are also happy to draft these for you.
If you are involved in any employment dispute or seek employment advice you should please contact Employment Law partner Stephen Cox at our Petersfield office.
