Losing your job, whether through redundancy or dismissal, can be a stressful time. People respond differently to such a change: you may be worried about the financial implications of not working or there may be a social and cultural stigma around losing your job. This may be the first time that you have lost your job and you are unfamiliar with the processes that you and your employer need to take.
Wright Hassall’s employment lawyers are experts in advising people who have lost their jobs and do so in a sensitive and straightforward manner.
Compromise agreements
You may be in the process of negotiating a severance package with your employer? The terms agreed will need to be reflected within an agreement drafted by your employer, who has to ensure that you have taken legal advice upon it. Your employer will usually contribute towards your legal fees incurred in relation to the agreement. Our team is experienced in advising employees on these agreements - particularly for senior managers and directors.
Unfair dismissal
Have you been dismissed or made redundant? Do you think that you have been treated unfairly?
You will usually need to have completed one year's service before you can bring a claim - although there are certain exceptions to this. Contact us immediately - there are strict time limits for bringing claims.
