Employment for the Employee

The compensatory award for unfair dismissal may be over £66,250 and employees are entitled to make a claim after only one year of employment. In cases involving discrimination there is no qualifying period.  You have only a 3 month time limit within which to make a claim to the Tribunal.

Have you been made redundant, unfairly dismissed or forced out by your employer? Strange as it might seem, your rights might not always be as obvious as you think.

We can advise fully and frankly and in a straightforward way, what your rights are and how you can use them to your advantage. We specialise in giving sensible, timely, practical advice to help you choose the best course of action for you.

We can apply our extensive knowledge, skills and experience to help resolve the specific issues which you are facing and provide as much or as little help as you require. We recognise that there are various complexities in any employment situation and we will analyse the issues and make suitable recommendations to you. Dependent upon the situation, options may involve legal processes or a solution designed to avoid legal conflict such as mediation or conciliation.

There are usually several routes to finding a possible solution and we prefer to explore these with you before making a decision. We will ensure that you are comfortable with the course of action which we advise or recommend and that it is the best option to achieve your objectives. If we feel that your objectives are unobtainable or unreasonable, we will say so and give you reasons.

A “no win, no fee” agreement may be available to you.
