At Freeman Johnson we understand that difficulties and disputes in your employment can bring serious problems both personally and financially. Our experience will enable us to assist you in a practical and understanding way.
|
 |
|
|
If possible, we will try and find a solution to your problem through negotiation or, where appropriate, mediation, but if necessary will provide representation in an Employment Tribunal, the Employment Appeal Tribunal or the courts as required. Please note that you must have exhausted your employer's internal procedures before applying to an Employment Tribunal - if in doubt, we would be pleased to discuss this with you. This is an area of law where your rights are subject to strict time limits and we will do our best to ensure these do not defeat your claim.

We will advise you of new developments - such as additional rights against discrimination - in this fast-changing area of law.
|
|
|
|
We can help in the following matters:
|
|
|
 |
Unfair dismissal - where dismissal is not a reasonable response to your conduct, or correct procedures have not been followed
|
|
|
Constructive dismissal - where you have been forced to resign as a result of the way your employer has treated you
|
|
|
Maternity and paternity rights
|
|
|
Redundancy - whether you have been fairly selected for redundancy and have received adequate redundancy pay
|
|
|
Sex discrimination, including sexual harassment and less favourable treatment on grounds of gender
|
|
|
Racial discrimination
|
|
|
Disability discrimination including failure to make reasonable adjustments for a disabled employee. (If your condition has a long-term adverse effect on your ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities, you may be considered as disabled, whether or not you are registered disabled.)
|
|
|
Breach of contract including wrongful dismissal - for instance, whether you have been given adequate notice
|
|
|
Claims for payment of wages, including under the minimum wage legislation
|
|
|
Your rights in a transfer of undertakings, where a business is sold or work transferred to a new contractor
|
