In recent years there have been huge changes in the law governing the relationship between employer and employee, and procedure and conduct inside and outside the workplace. Increasingly, the law regulates many aspects of the employment relationship, providing statutory rights and protection to employees and workers. This trend will undoubtedly continue with further legislation and legal developments coming into effect every year.
Such regulatory changes, coupled with the ever increasing levels of compensation (and legal costs) being awarded against employers who fail to comply with their legal obligations, mean that no matter what the size of your business, it is vital that all steps be taken to minimise the risk of potential claims and actual claims. Ignorance by an employer of a statutory or regulatory requirement provides NO excuse.
Accordingly it is essential that specialised legal advice be obtained in connection with any employment related matters. DF Legal LLP have considerable experience acting on behalf of employers of all sizes. We are members of the Employment Lawyers Association and we provide prompt and commercial advice and assistance to our clients.
In particular we can advise, and where appropriate, provide representation in relation to:
• Unfair and Wrongful dismissal claims
• Breach of employment contract claims
• Redundancy and related matters • Disciplinary procedures and Grievance procedures and their application
• Contracts of Employment terms
• Working hours and holiday entitlement
• Maternity, Paternity, Adoption and Parental leave and time of for dependents
• Discrimination
• Equal pay and minimum wage claims
• Conduct in the work place
We are able to offer employers of all sizes a full, pro-active, and customisable service based on a fixed retainer agreement, and are willing to undertake an initial review of your existing policies and procedures without a cost to you. More details of this service can be found here.
If you already have the benefit of Employment cover through an HR Consultancy, we may still be of assistance to you with our ability to provide an independent party to hear grievances or disciplinary appeals. More information can be found here.
