Who do we help?
Workplace issues affect people in many different ways. For some, it may be about job security or redundancy. For others, it could be bullying, discrimination, or disputes over contracts and restrictive covenants. Whatever the circumstances, our solicitors in Sale provide advice and representation that’s tailored to you. We act for employees across a wide range of roles and industries, always focusing on protecting your rights and achieving a fair outcome.
We frequently advise and represent employees who are:
- Experiencing discrimination or harassment in the workplace
- Facing disciplinary action, dismissal, or performance allegations
- Worried about redundancy or offered a redundancy package
- Negotiating or reviewing contracts, restrictive covenants, or changes to employment terms
- Considering or offered a settlement agreement
- Preparing to raise a grievance with their employer
- Forced to resign due to unfair treatment (constructive dismissal)
- Pursuing claims for unfair or wrongful dismissal
Our employment law services for employees include:
- Unfair, wrongful, and constructive dismissal – advice and representation when you’ve been dismissed unfairly, forced out, or treated unlawfully.
- Redundancy advice and redundancy package reviews – ensuring procedures are followed correctly and settlements are fair.
- Settlement agreements – independent legal advice on the terms of your agreement, including any compensation and conditions.
- Discrimination at work – guidance if you’ve been treated unfairly because of age, sex, race, disability, religion, sexual orientation, pregnancy or maternity, marriage and civil partnership, or gender reassignment.
- Harassment and bullying – support in cases involving bullying, sexual harassment, racial harassment, or hostile treatment in the workplace.
- Grievance and disciplinary procedures – advice on raising a grievance, responding to disciplinary action, and navigating appeals.
- Employment Tribunal representation – preparing your case, guiding you through the process, and representing you in hearings.
- Breach of contract disputes – advice when your employer has failed to honour your employment contract or changed terms without agreement.
- Equal pay claims – support in ensuring your pay matches legal equality with colleagues in comparable roles.
- Restrictive covenants and post-termination restrictions – advice on whether clauses in your contract are enforceable and how they may affect future employment.
- TUPE and changing terms of employment – guidance during business transfers or contract changes that impact your role.
- Whistleblowing protections – support if you need to report wrongdoing at work.
Whatever your background or position, we will take the time to understand your circumstances and explain your rights, so that you can make informed decisions about how to proceed with your case.
Can I make a claim?
Eligibility to make a claim depends on the type of issue you’re facing, how long you’ve been employed, and the deadlines that apply. Many claims – such as unfair dismissal or discrimination – must be brought within three months less one day of the incident or dismissal. Statutory redundancy claims can sometimes be made within six months.
Before proceeding to a tribunal, you’ll usually need to try resolving the matter directly with your employer, using grievance or disciplinary procedures, and through ACAS Early Conciliation. Our solicitors in Sale can advise you on the strength of your case, guide you through the required steps, and help you decide whether to negotiate, accept a settlement, or move forward with a formal claim.
What is an Employment Tribunal?
An Employment Tribunal is an independent body that hears disputes between employees and employers. It deals with claims such as unfair dismissal, redundancy, discrimination, equal pay, or breach of contract. The tribunal process is legally binding, and if your claim succeeds, the tribunal can award compensation or other remedies.
Hearings are overseen by an employment judge and may also include representatives with experience from both employee and employer perspectives. Some disputes can be resolved through judicial mediation before a hearing takes place. If a full hearing is necessary, our solicitors will prepare your case thoroughly and represent you throughout.
If the tribunal rules in your favour, you may receive compensation for lost earnings and damages. In rare cases, reinstatement may be ordered. Time limits are strict, which is why it’s so important to get legal advice as early as you can.
