Frequently asked questions
What employment documents does my business need?
At minimum, written statements of terms, a contract of employment, and key policies such as disciplinary, grievance and equal opportunities. We can draft or review these for you.
How do I dismiss an employee fairly?
You need a fair reason and a fair process. Getting this wrong risks unfair dismissal claims. We advise step by step to keep you protected.
Can you help defend a tribunal claim?
Yes. We represent employers at every stage, from the Acas early conciliation process through to the tribunal hearing, and advise on settlement where sensible.
