Frequently Asked Questions.

You can use the Government calculator to calculate your annual holiday entitlement. 

In most cases, the employee would need to be employed for 2 years or more to have ‘continuous rights of employment’. There are certain criteria where the two-year period is not necessary, and these include but are not limited to the following;

  • Raising health and safety concerns within the workplace or whistleblowing.
  • Dismissed from work for pregnancy or pregnancy related issues.
  • Discriminated against due to a protected characteristic such as your age, disability, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation under the terms of the Equality Act 2010.

A claim must be raised within 3 months of the date of termination of your employment. The ACAS Early Conciliation varies this period,  process which effectively stops the clock ticking. 

You cannot be made redundant for the sole reason that you are pregnant, this would be in breach of the Equality Act 2010 and you could bring a claim for discrimination. However, if redundancies are being made across the business and reasons outside pregnancy or maternity are highlighted you could still be made redundant in this situation. 

You should firstly seek legal advice before taking any action; in this case you would become a whistle-blower that comes with its own rights and procedures. You should review your employer’s whistleblowing policy too. 

Our services.

We offer a range of services to Employees with issues at work. 

We can offer one-off advice on an issue at work, through to full tribunal representation where necessary. We offer practical and honest advice to our clients and their issues. 

We work with you to understand the underlying issue, and work with your to create a resolution to provide you with your preferred outcome to the situation.  

Settlement agreements.

A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract offered to an employee by the employer to end employment on agreed terms. This could be borne out of settlement of a claim made by an employee, or deal with a potential redundancy situation. 

The agreement will also waive the right to making a future legal claim against the company, and is often combined with a payment being made to the employee. 

In order for the agreement to be valid, the Employee must seek independent legal advice, which we can offer. We provide a report on the terms of the agreement, negotiate terms if necessary, and answer any questions you may have. 

Issues at work.

An employee can become unhappy at work for a number of reasons, this can range from bullying and harassment, discrimination equal pay disputes, TUPE or whistle-blower protection. 

We offer our clients honest and practical advice on their situation, and most importantly take in to account how you want the issue to be resolved before offering a pathway to the desired resolution. 

Grievance & Disciplinary Hearings.

We can offer clients advice on how best to approach raising a grievance in work, and how to handle the situation from start to finish. 

We can also advise on employees where you have been called to a disciplinary hearing, and offer an approach to dealing with this situation. 

Constructive & Unfair Dismissal.

These circumstances arise if you feel you have been unfairly dismissed from work, or forced to leave your place of work due to external factors. We can advise you on your rights in your situation, and advise of your options for any potential claims that may arise against your employer.

Where your issue at work cannot be resolved through discussion or mediation, it may be necessary to take your employer to an employment tribunal to seek the remuneration you feel you are entitled to. This process can take some time, but we can assist with Employment Tribunal Representation and managing the steps in a timely manner. 

We will also offer you honest and practical advice throughout your employment issue, as we know the tribunal process can be a stressful and lengthy process.
