Losing
your job is a stressful event, and all the more so if you
feel that you have been unfairly dismissed. It is important
to know your rights at a time like this, so if you feel that
you have lost your job through no fault of your own, or are
being discriminated against or treated unreasonably at work,
it is a good idea to discuss the situation with your solicitor.
At McCash and Hunter, we can provide the guidance which you
need to make the right decisions in a difficult situation.
Your
rights in the work place
Rights in the workplace are constantly changing and
can affect maternity and paternity issues as well as working
hours. Disciplinary, dismissal and grievance procedures are
also subject to change. If you are experiencing problems at
work it is important that you seek sound professional advice
at an early stage.
Taking
Action
We are able to advise you on the appropriate action, depending
on the individual circumstances of your case. In the majority
of cases, you have only 3 months to lodge your claim with
the Employment Tribunal. In the majority of cases you will
only have the right to challenge a dismissal if you have worked
for your employers for a continuous period of 12 months but
there are certain types of claim which do not require any
qualifying period of employment. The Employment Tribunal has
wide ranging powers. It can establish the terms and conditions
of your employment and provide redress against any unlawful
deductions made by your employers.
