Employee Advice on Employment Contracts

An employment contract is a binding agreement between employer and employee. If you have not been given one at the outset of your employment, or you think your employer has breached the employment contract or is alleging you have done so, we can help with matters such as:

  • Advising on the terms of employment contract
  • Allegations of gross misconduct
  • Investigations into your alleged conduct
  • Notice periods and pay and garden leave
  • Long-term absence
  • Right to work in the UK
  • Suspension from the workplace
  • Termination of fixed term contracts
  • Termination of contracts for performance related reasons
  • Terminations and restrictive covenants and enforceability
  • Tribunal representation at the Employment Tribunal and appeals
  • Transfer of undertakings and your contractual rights
  • Disciplinary and dismissal proceedings including appeal.
Redundancy Advice for Employees

If you are selected for redundancy, it can feel as if you have been singled out. Redundancy is not the same as being dismissed because of something you might have done, but Employment Solicitors understand that if you have been told you are at risk of redundancy, or selected for redundancy, you will probably feel aggrieved and upset and in need of legal advice on your options.

Our team can help with all your redundancy related questions and advise on:

  • Whether or not there a genuine redundancy situation
  • Consultation queries regarding an employer’s duty to consult
  • Redundancy pool advice – you may not agree that your job should fall within the pool of potential people at risk of redundancy
  • Redundancy selection process – you may question if the redundancy selection process is weighted against you if, for example, you have been working from home or because of your age or other protected characteristic
  • Redundancy payments
  • References and redundancy
  • Settlement Agreements

Discrimination Claims for Employees

If you think that you are being bullied or discriminated against at work, then our team can help you. Our friendly and approachable Employment Solicitors are experienced in advising on the full range of discrimination related employment problems, including:

  • Identifying if you have a protected characteristic as defined in the Equality Act 2010 that is the cause of the discrimination
  • Constructive dismissal advice if you leave your employment because of the behaviour of others towards you in the work environment
  • Helping you understand if your experiences at work amount in UK Employment Law to bullying or harassment
  • Guidance on putting in a grievance at work if you are being bullied or discriminated against or treated unfairly in any other way.
  • Guidance if your employer does not follow their anti-bullying and discrimination policies or investigation procedures
  • Protected characteristics and discrimination – it is not always straight forward to work out if you have a ‘protected characteristic’ and are therefore able to bring a discrimination claim. For example, if you are being discriminated against because of your beliefs
  • Promotion disputes and discrimination – this could be a concern if you have been overlooked for promotion because of your gender or working from home role
  • Settlement negotiations to resolve discrimination or other claims
  • Tribunal representation if your claim cannot be resolved and proceeds to an Employment Tribunal or an appeal
  • Unequal pay claims
  • Unfair rules at work- this could be related to a protected characteristic either directly or indirectly because of certain requirements.

If you believe that you are being bullied, harassed, victimised or discriminated against at work, or if you have any other Employment Law related concerns, it is important to get specialist legal advice as soon as possible so our Employment Solicitors and Barristers can start to support you by discussing your concerns and advising on your options.
