If you think your employer has treated you unfairly, it is important to get legal advice at the earliest opportunity. In some cases there are specific deadlines for making complaints against an employer, and generally the longer you leave a problem, the harder it is to solve.
We will
- Explain your options;
- Tell you if you have a legal case against your employer;
- Help you decide whether your case is worth taking further;
- Explain what you should do next.
Exploring the alternatives
Once you have explained your circumstances in detail, we can explain your options. If we believe you have a case and you want to take it further, you need to decide how you are going to do this.
You should, if possible, try and sort out your problem through your company's internal grievance procedures.
|
You should do this because:
- Matters can often be sorted out quite quickly this way; and
- Employment Tribunals may refuse to hear your claim or reduce your compensation if you haven't tried to sort out the matter internally before taking your case to them.
Ideally you should consult us before using internal procedures. We can help you set out your case or negotiate a settlement for you. If you are happy to carry out these negotiations directly with your employer, we can offer useful advice on how best to go about doing this.
If your attempts to solve the problem internally are not successful, an Employment Tribunal may be your best option. If so, we can help by preparing your case or representing you at the tribunal.
What do we do?
- Unfair dismissal or summary (without notice) dismissal without cause.
- Unlawful deductions from wages.
- Unfair selection for redundancy.
- Sex, disability or racial discrimination.
- Family Friendly Rights
- Change of terms and conditions of employment without consent
