howarth goodman offers clients an impressive range of employment law services. The recent proliferation of employment legislation has imposed on employers additional statutory obligations in relation to consultation, minimum rates of pay, maximum working hours etc. It is therefore essential that employment contract documentation is monitored and updated on a regular basis to ensure compliance with these obligations.
We also offer a comprehensive package of advice and representation in relation to employment disputes including complaints relating to unfair and wrongful dismissal, all types of unlawful discrimination and the complex TUPE Regulations introduced to protect staff on the transfer of ownership of the business in which they are employed.
As the maximum award of compensation relating to unfair dismissal claims has been increased significantly, and as there is no ceiling on awards for discrimination claims, we encourage clients to seek our advice before taking any action which may give rise to complaints of this nature. Preliminary advice is particularly vital for employers who are contemplating redundancies to ensure that the correct procedures are carried out before any irrevocable decisions are taken.
The majority of the employment law cases we undertake on behalf of employee clients are conducted on a contingency fee basis to ensure that our client does not have to pay for the cost of representation other than by way of an agreed percentage of the compensation recovered on their behalf.
