Unfair dismissal and employment tribunals

If you feel that you’ve received unfair treatment at work or believe you’ve been unfairly dismissed, it’s natural to want to take action. Often it’s possible to resolve workplace disputes directly with your employer but if you’ve already tried this and failed, you may decide to take your employer to an employment tribunal. If this is the case, we can provide all the legal advice and support you will need throughout the process.

Our employment law solicitors help people who have been treated unfairly in the workplace. We’ll clearly outline your options and help you to decide if a tribunal hearing is the right course of action for you.

Employment tribunals are usually made up of a panel that includes an employment judge and two non-legal people who have business experience. A tribunal can be used to address a wide number of issues ranging from discrimination in the workplace to unfair dismissals. Both the employer and the employee may use witnesses to provide supporting evidence and after hearing the case, the panel will reach a decision which is legally binding.

At QualitySolicitors Parkinson Wright, our knowledgeable employment solicitors are here to support and guide you throughout the entire process. We will explain how best to present your case and will ensure you are fully prepared for the hearing - supporting you with everything from documentation to obtaining witness statements. We’ll clearly outline all of your options from the start so that together we can plan the best course of action. We’ll make sure you are represented fairly throughout the tribunal hearing and will ensure that you always understand what is happening at every step.

However you decide to proceed, it’s important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. You only have three months from the date of your dismissal or the date the unfair treatment last occurred to make an application for a tribunal hearing.

At QualitySolicitors we believe in speaking plain English and always explain everything in straightforward terms. We’re on hand to answer any questions you may have and offer a free, initial over-the-phone conversation so you can find out about the process, costs + VAT @ 20% and timescales.

Expert legal advice you can rely on:


Employment law

Everyone deserves to be treated fairly at work. But from time to time, things can go wrong. Workplace relationships may break down or perhaps you face the risk of losing your job. If you’re involved in a disagreement at work, it’s good to know there is someone you can turn to for advice.

Contracts of employment

The key to any good working relationship begins by knowing what is expected of you as an employee. And it’s equally important for you to know what to expect from your employer. That’s why a contract of employment is so important.

Discrimination at work

Being treated unfairly is unpleasant and upsetting. If that is because of a prejudice someone holds, QualitySolicitors will support you to gain fair treatment or make a claim.

Grievance and disciplinary procedures

Facing problems at work is never easy - particularly if there’s a breakdown in the relationship between you and your employer. So it’s good to know that when things go wrong, help is available to ensure you are treated fairly and to support you during work-related disputes.

Redundancy

When faced with redundancy it’s natural to have lots of questions. You’ll want to know if your redundancy is fair, how much notice your employers have to give you, and whether you are entitled to redundancy pay. Most employers handle the process properly and support their employees through this difficult time. However, if your employer is making redundancies and you feel as though you need help to ensure that you’re fairly treated, we’re here for you.

Unfair treatment at work

If you feel that you’re being unfairly treated at work, it can be a stressful and confusing time. The good news is, you’re not alone. Our employment law solicitors have helped lots of people in similar situations and can provide the help and advice you need to resolve issues quickly.

Unlawful deductions

Every employee deserves to be paid correctly and as promised by their employer. From time to time, disputes can arise and your employer may feel they have the right to deduct wages from you. However, employers can make mistakes and it may be that the deduction from your wages is actually an unlawful deduction.
