Employment problems
Unsure of your employment rights?
Problems with your employer?
As an employee, you have a number of statutory rights in the workplace which protect your pay, working conditions and rights to equality and fair treatment. Your employer must abide by its obligations under the law and must follow the relevant employment policies and procedures.
At Myers & Co Solicitors our employment law solicitors have extensive experience of all kinds of workplace problems, including:
- disciplinary hearings and grievance procedures;
- employment tribunals;
- executive termination;
- restrictive covenants;
- settlement (formerly compromise) agreements;
- unfair dismissal; and
- unpaid wages, bonus or commission.
If you have been unfairly dismissed or discriminated against at work, you may be entitled to compensation.
Funding your case
We will discuss all your funding options with you, including any tribunal fees payable. If you have existing cover under a personal insurance policy or a general household policy which includes legal expenses insurance, please let us know-you may be able to make a claim for your legal costs.
Based in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, our specialist employment solicitors offer independent legal advice and representation on all types of employment law problems. To find out more, contact our employment law solicitors or call Myers & Co Solicitors on 01782 577000.
