If you and your business are faced with an employment problem and would like some help, we can guide you through the processes.
We will help you understand your obligations, tell you the necessary steps that need to be followed and make sure that documentation is in place both to protect you and help achieve your objectives.
Employment problems can seem like a real hurdle, particularly to sole traders and SMEs. With a bit of help from us, we can get you over that hurdle with the minimum of fuss and cost.
Most employment issues fall within three broad categories.
There is, firstly, the documentation that you need to have in place with contracts, terms, policies and handbooks.
Secondly, there are transactional issues - typically where one business acquires another (TUPE) or reorganisational changes involving negotiation on contract changes or even redundancies.
Thirdly, there are claims - ranging from unfair dismissal and contract claims through to discrimination and similar issues.
We have advised other businesses on just these problems and should be pleased to help you.
Call or email Gary Baker who will put you in touch with one of our employment lawyers for an initial discussion.
