Employment Law for small companies is a minefield which is getting ever more complex. A mistake in administering a procedure or process can be expensive in both money and time. A typical award at a tribunal can now be in excess of £70,000.

I have had many years working in this area working for Ford, the logistics and railway industries both in the UK and Europe my associates have a background both in the print and defence industries and have significant experience in addressing health and safety issues.

 

Remember

  • Industrial tribunal proceedings being taken against companies are becoming more common.

  • Awards can now be in excess of £70,000. Awards in discrimination or whistleblowing cases are unlimited.

  • Your employees tend to know more about your legal rights than you do.

  • Redundancy and dismissal are governed by a legal process .If you don’t follow the correct procedure it can be costly and time consuming

  • In all probability you frequently pay out more in fringe benefits than you are legally required to.

     

It is a minefield we aim to guide you safely through it with our extensive experience with employment law advice.
