Employment Law

Employment law remains a minefield and in these difficult economic times your employees have all the more reason to pursue their claims in court. If you don’t get expert advice at an early stage the likelihood is that you will end up in a tribunal and lose. On the other hand at time when profit margins are being squeezed there is an understandable reluctance to spend money on preventative measures.

We have looked at a possible solution to this dilemma provided by Tozers Solicitors. Their EASY service provides year-round access to a team of Employment Lawyers on payment of an annual all-in fee. Their brochure states:

Tozers Easy is a genuinely innovative way to deliver cost-effective HR and employment law advice; the fact that it is on a fixed fee retainer works as a positive incentive to take timely advice and by doing so our experience is that in most cases we can help prevent a difficult situation getting out of hand and ending in a tribunal

Within the scope of the service Tozers will: -

• advise and guide you in the handling of difficult capability and disciplinary issues, through to dismissal where appropriate
• check that your contracts of employment support your business objectives
• advise on the correct interpretation of existing contract terms
