Employment Law
Are you up to date with Employment Law?
Employees are the most valuable asset of any organisation, whether large or small.
Changes in legislation for disciplinary and grievance procedures and age discrimination means that it is essential for employers to review their practices and procedures.
Issues can escalate very quickly and it is important to undertake the correct procedures from the very beginning of a dispute, to reduce the risk of a costly employment tribunal.
There are other areas such as equal opportunities, sickness and stress management where careful consideration to suitable policies can be a great help in managing staff and protecting against the risk of a claim. Given that the maximum compensation for an unfair dismissal claim is over £60,000 and there is no limit on compensation for discrimination claims, employers would be sensible to protect themselves against employment law claims. We are also able to arrange employment protection insurance for businesses.
Shaun Pinchbeck, Heptonstalls’ employment law specialist has many years experience of advising employers throughout the region.
We’re here to help you with:
- Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures
- Working Conditions
- Contracts of Employment
- Redundancy
- Dismissal
- Equal Pay
- Discrimination
- Termination / Compromise Agreements
We also provide advice and representation in relation to employment tribunal proceedings.
Shaun would be pleased to give presentations and speak at seminars.
"The Sobriety Project is a medium sized local Charity, which employs staff and makes extensive use of volunteers. Inevitably situations arise in which a detailed knowledge of employment law is indispensable. The Charity's first post of call is always to Mr Shaun Pinchbeck, who, invariably not only provides solutions, but also reassurance for a vulnerable organisation".
