We advise Employers on topics which relate to the conduct of their business and how it affects their work force. These include:
Many of these matters apply equally to Employees and we can advise and represent either party before Employment Tribunals, particularly in cases relating to Redundancy and Unfair Dismissal, Discrimination and Equal Pay claims. We can also advise employers and employees on the enforceability of restrictive covenants. We help businesses purchasing or restructuring companies on the employment implications of doing so. We also advise employees on their rights following the sale of a business. Many claims have been avoided by proactive management. We provide in-house training on a variety of areas to help achieve this. Training topics include Managing Absences and Capability, a basic introduction to Employment Law and avoiding Discrimination. Please contact Derwent Gibson or Michael Macgregor in our Hexham office or Pam Loch via our Newcastle office. |
