EMPLOYMENT LAW
If you have received notice of an employment tribunal claim then the time scales are tight. Speak to us straight away to undertake an assessment of your case.
Employment Documents
Its important that you formalise your relationship with your employees. Partly this is to avoid employment disputes which can be ruinously expensive if they reach the stage of a tribunal.
There are other good reasons why you should have a system of employment contracts and documents. It keeps you in control your staff, formalises what is expected of them, can save you money on such things as training costs and can give you a defence against legal action from the authorities.
Some of the types of documents we recommend include the following :
Contracts of employment
Disciplinary and grievance procedures
Handbook containing all your rules and policies
Working Times Directive opt out
Detailed safety instructions for drivers
If you are looking to dismiss staff or make them redundant then it is very advisable for you to get legal advice before you take any steps. The process needs to be watertight otherwise you will risk a claim.
