Employment disputes

Employment disputes can take a number of forms: they can be related to your wages, how you perform your job, or relationships with your colleagues and your line manager.

Learn about employment disputes

Your employment dispute may be related to your selection for redundancy, unfair reason for dismissal, unfair treatment because you raised a complaint, or due to your race, sex, disability, sexual orientation, religion or beliefs.

You may also feel that you are being harassed, victimised or bullied.

We'll ensure your rights are protected and that you're compensated where your employer has breached your rights.

Why use Access Legal from Shoosmiths?

We understand that employment disputes can be sensitive, and you may be wary of accusing people or enforcing your rights, especially in a work environment.

However, once a complaint is made it is vital that you stick with it, so it's essential that you obtain proper advice in order to decide on the best course of action.

Our team has a wealth of experience in advising on all types of complaints and are used to dealing with all types of employer, from sole traders to public bodies and investment banks.

We will advise you on the best options available to you.

Important things to consider

Ensure you read your contract of employment and staff manual carefully. These should set out your obligations and those of your employer. If you don't have access to anything in writing, consult your line manager or human resources and department and ask whether there is any policy in place for you to consider. Remember: if in doubt, please consult us.
