Hallett & Co can advise and assist you with various employment matters, including:-

  • Dismissal. Where you are concerned that your employer is contemplating your dismissal, our expert team can help. When facing a potential dismissal, there are certain procedures that should be followed. Our team can advise you through this process. If you are dismissed, we can offer expert advice on your employment rights, your termination package and the options available to you. 
  • Discrimination. If you suspect that you are being discriminated against in the workplace by either your employer or a colleague, our team is here to assist you. 
  • Redundancy. Should you be facing redundancy in the workplace, our team can advise you on your employment rights and your termination package. 
  • Contractual claims. If you have concerns regarding your employment contract or a proposed employment contract, please do get in touch with us. We can assist with reviewing the contract and the options available to you. 
  • Grievances. If you are concerned with the way you are being treated or a procedure at work, we are here to advise you of your employment rights and, if appropriate, assist with following your employer’s grievance policy and procedures. 
  • Compromise Agreement (often referred to as ‘Settlement Agreements’). If you have been provided with a Compromise Agreement by your employer, please do get in touch. It is likely that your Compromise Agreement needs to be reviewed by a solicitor who can advise you on your employment rights and the consequences of entering into the Agreement. 

Where you decide to pursue an employment claim through the Employment Tribunal or Civil Court, we will deal with the management of the case efficiently and effectively. It is our aim to take a logical and clear approach when assisting clients; answering your queries and concerns in a straightforward and open manner.
