How we can help you?
Our specialist, commercially astute, proactive, and highly intelligent Employment Law Solicitors can assist you with:
Unfair dismissal
Redundancy
Discrimination
Whistleblowing
Being dismissed from your job is a traumatic event in itself. The situation becomes more stressful if you were unfairly dismissed. If you have worked for your employer for two or more years, they must dismiss you in a fair, reasonable manner and for one of the following reasons; capability or qualifications, conduct, redundancy, breach of a statutory duty or restriction, or ‘some other substantial reason” (SOSR). If you were dismissed for another reason or you believe your employer acted unreasonably, you may have a claim for unfair dismissal.
There are strict statutory rules around making people redundant, including the requirement to inform and consult with employees. If your employer breaches these regulations, you may have a claim for unfair dismissal.
Our Employment Law Solicitors can also advise you on statutory and contractual redundancy payments, and if you have been offered a Settlement Agreement, whether or not you should accept its terms.
Under the Equality Act 2010, employers cannot discriminate against you for possessing one of the following nine characteristics:
- Age
- Gender
- Race
- Disability
- Religion or belief
- Sexual orientation
- Gender reassignment
- Marriage or civil partnerships
- Pregnancy and maternity
Discrimination claims can be complex and contentious. You can be confident that our Employment Law Solicitors will provide expert advice and representation and always protect your best interests.
Employers cannot subject whistleblowers to any detriment, including dismissal, if they make a protected qualifying disclosure. However, many whistleblowers suffer detriment and harassment and are ultimately forced to leave their positions. We can provide advice and guidance from the beginning, developing a robust strategy around making the disclosures, preparing you for any fallout, and protecting your position. If you have been dismissed and you believe the dismissal was related to you blowing the whistle, we can provide advice and representation in making a claim in the Employment Tribunal.
