Labor law is something which affects most of us at some time during our lives, and it is the area of law that is probably the most complex and the most frequently changed and added to. So getting the right legal advice and representation in this field can be quite difficult.
Amongst the most common legal issues that fall under employment law:
- Unfair dismissal
In our experience, employment law is the area of law most often ignored or overlooked, particularly by employers in small to medium businesses.
When you set up a business and start to employ people there is no legal requirement that you have any knowledge of employment law at all. Many employers simply pick it up as they go along, and there is a lot to pick up. That means they often get it wrong, leaving them open to litigation from employees and fines from regulators.
