We can offer legal advice if you are experiencing problems in the following areas:

Changes in working hours and conditions
Redundancy
Grievances, bullying and other employment-related matters

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU CONTACT US

We understand the time constraints in relation to employment matters and always aim to address your concerns quickly and efficiently.

Due to our very limited resources and the many inquiries we receive, please bear in mind that we cannot guarantee to take on a particular case. However, we will offer one-off advice where possible and signpost to an appropriate service where necessary.

Please note that times to take action in Employment matters are relatively short. You usually need to start your case within 3 months of whatever you are complaining about. As an example, if you have been unfairly sacked (dismissed from your job), you have 3 calendar months minus one day from your last day of work to start a claim. You should take advice on this if uncertain.
