DYNE DREWETT SOLICITORS LIMITED.

Company Employment

We recognise that all companies adopt a slightly different approach to employee management. This may range from an organisation that operates a full internal human resources team to the small business operation where the owners take on this responsibility themselves. At some time most businesses should seek professional legal advice for at least some employment issue. In the long run it can save you time and money.

Employment law is a potential minefield for the inexperienced and uninitiated. It is an area of law that is in a constant state of flux, often because of European Community legislation.

As employees become more aware of their rights and become increasingly prepared to seek legal redress, it is vital that employers stay abreast of developments.

With over 130,000 applications annually by employees to employment tribunals in the UK, and with the upper limits of some awards now raised to more than £50,000 (with some unlimited), employers need to be fully and properly advised about relevant law and procedures.

Our Employment Team provides practical advice on all employment law issues including:

• Contracts of employment
• Data Protection
• Disciplinary action and grievance procedures
• Discrimination for sex, race, disability
• Employment Tribunals
• Family friendly policies
• Maternity leave
• Minimum wage
• Paternity leave
• Redundancy and dismissal
• Restrictive covenants
• Service agreements
• Trade unions
• Transfer regulations upon company acquisitions
• TUPE including indemnities and warranties
• Unfair dismissal
• Whistle blowing
• Wrongful dismissal and breach of contract
