We offer down to earth, practical legal advice on all areas of Employment Law, including unfair dismissal. We can assist you throughout the Employment Tribunal process ensuring that you obtain the best possible result.
If you have been working for more than 2 years at the same company you cannot be dismissed without fair reason. That means that in order to let you go your employer must be able to prove one or more of the following:
If you feel you were unfairly dismissed you should contact the team at Frederick Solicitors. We can help you determine if you have a legitimate claim of being unfairly dismissed and explain your options to you. Remember, employers need to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice regarding employee discipline. If there is reason to suspect they did not you may be granted an Employment Tribunal which will determine whether your grievance warrants compensation or other remedial steps such as reinstatement.
Settlement Agreements – formerly known as Compromise Agreements – are agreements reached between an employer and employee to resolve a termination dispute. The Settlement Agreement will often specify agreed upon compensation for the now former employee and may also address other, specific aspects of the original dispute.
Before you sign a Settlement Agreement it is important that you speak to an expert from Frederick Solicitors to ensure you are getting a fair and reasonable settlement given the merits of your case. The Employment Solicitor can also ensure there are no hidden clauses or cleverly worded stipulations that could end up nullifying the agreement or otherwise prevent you from getting the compensation you deserve.
