Frequently Asked Questions

Why is employment law important for businesses?

Employment law sets out the legal rights and responsibilities of employers and employees. Ensuring compliance helps businesses reduce legal risk, maintain positive employee relations and avoid costly disputes.

When should an employer seek employment law advice?

Employers should seek legal advice as early as possible when dealing with workplace issues such as disciplinary matters, grievances, discrimination concerns, restructures, redundancies or employee exits. Early advice can often prevent issues from escalating.

Do employment contracts need to be reviewed regularly?

Yes. Employment legislation changes frequently, and contracts should be reviewed periodically to ensure they remain compliant and continue to protect your business.

What is TUPE?

TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations) protects employees when a business or service transfers to a new employer. Our solicitors can advise on employer obligations and help manage the process effectively.

How much notice do I need to give when making an employee redundant?

This all depends on how long your employee has worked for you or if their contract states a specific notice period. Having a solicitor team look over the employee contracts and advise on notice periods is the most effective way to make sure any redundancy is handled legally.

Do I need a solicitor to handle a disciplinary or grievance procedure?

Legally you do not need a solicitor to handle this, however it can be costly if you try to work through a disciplinary or grievance without one. Not using a solicitor can lead to legal issues later down the line, if your business handles anything incorrectly it can then become a longer process.

How much does it cost to get employment law advice for my business?

This will depend on the type of advice you may need or how much advice is needed, our team of experts are available to discuss costs with you regarding your issue. It’s always worth remembering that paying for legal advice is often cheaper in the long run as everything is done legally, rather than incorrectly which will cost businesses later down the line.
