Areas of Law / Employment

We spend the majority of our lives at work – so when something goes wrong in the workplace, or you think you have been unfairly treated, you need expert legal advice at the earliest opportunity to ensure that your rights are protected.

Employment law is very fast moving and complicated, and very few people have a clear idea of their rights at work. Our employment lawyers can advise on a wide range of work related matters including;

  • Bullying at work
  • Discrimination
  • Pay Disputes
  • Redundancy
  • Unfair dismissal

Our employment lawyers can also offer advice on the nicer side of employment law, such as helping you negotiate your contract for that dream job.

My wife worked for a firm for 20 years. She went on sick leave in May 2013 and never went back. She never formally left, and received her P60 for the tax year to 5th April 2015. We’ve discovered that the company closed down last year. Is she entitled to a redundancy payment? We wrote to the receivers two months ago, but haven’t received a reply.

Recently the MD told junior management at our firm that if we are off work for whatever reason we may not get the full pay we have always received. He wants us to report to him when returning to work from illness, when he will decide whether we’re entitled to full pay or not. Can he do this? There’s nothing about this in our contracts.
