FAQs

Below are some questions that we are frequently asked by clients who require advice on Employment Advice Law.

Legal advice is valuable at any stage — whether you’re hiring staff, managing performance, planning redundancies, or handling disputes. Early intervention helps prevent issues escalating into formal claims or reputational risk.

Yes. Employers are legally required to provide a written statement of employment particulars from day one. A full employment contract offers clarity and protection for both parties. We can help draft or review contracts tailored to your business.

Implementing clear policies, following fair procedures, and seeking legal advice before taking action (e.g. dismissal or redundancy) are key. We support employers with proactive risk management and compliance.

Grievances must be handled fairly and in line with your internal procedures. We can guide you through the process, help investigate the complaint, and advise on resolution strategies to avoid escalation.

Dismissals must follow a fair process and be based on valid reasons (e.g. conduct, capability, redundancy). Failure to follow procedure can lead to claims for unfair dismissal. We advise on lawful dismissal procedures and documentation.

It depends on the situation, but legal advice is advisable – especially for long-term or recurring absence. We advise on medical capability, reasonable adjustments, and avoiding discrimination claims, particularly where disability may be a factor.
