Much of our lives is spent at work. When grievances and issues arise, there can be serious implications legally, financially and emotionally.
Laws are in place to ensure employees’ and workers’ rights are protected and enforced to avoid unfair treatment in the workplace.
What does an employment solicitor do?
If problems do arise, you need dedicated employment law solicitors to advise on the best way to proceed. With a commercial and pragmatic approach, our dedicated employment solicitors at B P Collins can provide support and comprehensive advice to employees across all areas of employment law, whatever your employment situation.
Our employee advice services
- Advice for senior executives
We regularly act for senior executives in London, the Thames Valley and nationwide. - Bonuses and bonus disputes
In practice, the distinction between a contractual and non-contractual bonus may not be so clear-cut. Bonus disputes arise when an employee receives a bonus which is less than they expected or when they don’t receive a bonus at all. - Data subject access requests
Employers handle vast amounts of employee personal data. Employees can access this data by making a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR), which can often be quite revealing. - Discrimination claims
There are various types of discrimination and unlawful conduct that can take place in the workplace - Employment contracts
The most important document governing your relationship with your employer which includes your salary, bonuses, notice and holiday. We recommend that before signing a new employment contract, you arrange to have it reviewed. - Employment tribunal claims
If you experience a dispute at work and cannot resolve it, you may wish to make a claim to an employment tribunal. - Flexible working
Most employees who have at least 26 weeks’ continuous service are legally entitled to have a request for flexible working seriously considered. An employer can only refuse the request for limited business reasons. - Parental rights
Our experienced team of employment lawyers can support and advise you on the policies and practices needed to ensure parents in the workplace are supported. - Post-termination restrictions and restrictive covenants
These are often inserted by employers into employment contracts and apply after employment has finished and include various clauses. - Redundancy
We regularly advise employees who have been put at risk of redundancy and can help ensure that their employers carry out fair consultation and treat their employees fairly. - Settlement agreements
We have successfully negotiated settlement agreements on behalf of employees at all levels, as well as having extensive expertise in other employment matters, such as agreeing exit packages, share options and restrictive covenants. - Unfair dismissal
Unfair dismissal is when the employer does not have a good reason for dismissing you, or they have not followed the company’s formal disciplinary or dismissal process. However, there are exceptions to this rule. - Whistleblowing
Workers may encounter situations where they need to report wrongdoing in their workplace. The UK’s whistleblowing legislation is designed to encourage workers to report wrongdoing without fear of retaliation. - Workplace disputes and grievances
Having someone on your side who is experienced at dealing with workplace disputes, grievances, victims of malicious grievances and bullying and harassment in the workplace, such as one of our employee lawyers, can be invaluable to getting a good outcome.
