Employers
Eastleys recognises that for many business, negotiating a route through Employment Legislation is something of a minefield. This is why we, at Eastleys, are here to help you avoid the pitfalls you may encounter. We aim to relieve you of your employment problems, leaving you free to concentrate on your business.
The Government continues to introduce legislation which provides rights to workers, family friendly legislation, discrimination and equality laws, minimum wage and working time regulations to name a tiny few. In addition, employees are changing, technology in their pockets requires employers to rething their business practices. What was acceptable five years ago is not today and tomorrow it will be all change again.
The secret is to ensure you have systems in place to avoid the pitfalls – such as a contract, tailor made to suit your particular business environment, up-to-date handbooks, training procedures and policies – all of which Eastleys Employment Team can tailor make to your needs.
Some of the areas that we can help you with
- Contracts of Employment
- ACAS Grievance and Disciplinary Codes of Practice
- Takeovers and Transfer of Undertakings
- Compromise Agreements
- Policies
- Discrimination Claims
- Redundancy Matters
It is often the case that your employee will be able to enter into a No Win No Fee Agreement in order to bring a claim. This is rarely open to you, the Employer who, unless you have insurance in place, will be left with a large bill for solicitors' costs, even if you win your claim!
If you do find yourself on the receiving end of an Application to an Employment Tribunal, telephone one of our experts, fast, for an immeidate appraisal of the caim and advice on how to proceed. Our Employment team recognises the need to act fast to resolve your problems. Litigation should be the last resort, and we will work to ensure a speedy, mutually acceptable settlement to save you costs.
In almost every case, claims are lost or won on the basis of the type of evasive procedure you operate within your business. If none are in place, and there is no Contract of Employment available, or you have no systems, your prospects of success in any claim will be severely, if not terminally, damaged. It is for this reason that the first service Eastleys can offer you is advice on what procedures should be put in place, together with advice on your Contract of Employment.
Eastleys can offer these services independently.
