  • Employment Disputes

    Employment image

    There is no doubt that Employment Law is now very complex. 

    Many employers become  confused and frustrated by the regular flow of new legislation, both from Parliament and the European Union, and the effect of decisions made in Tribunals and the higher courts.  Consequently, it is very easy to fall foul of these ever changing rules.

    The best way to limit your business’s exposure to costly and potentially damaging disputes is to ensure that you have sound contracts of employment and personnel management systems in place.  However, when disputes do arise, livelihoods may be at stake, or the smooth running of your business may be compromised.

    We can provide sensible, practical and cost effective guidance in order to minimise disruption and reach amicable settlements.

    Our expertise covers areas such as:-

    • Disciplinary and grievance procedures;
    • Maternity and paternity rights;
    • Flexible working;
    • Long term sickness absences;
    • Discrimination in all its prohibited forms;
    • Redundancies;
    • Business and TUPE transfers;
    • Dismissals;
    • Compromise Agreements.

     

    Where employment relations break down irretrievably, and you are faced with a Tribunal claim, Butcher Andrews can provide all the necessary advice and guidance on negotiating an acceptable settlement and, if necessary, represent you at any hearing.
