Need Help With Employment Law?


Many people need advice on employment law when there is an employment issue needing to be resolved such as dismissal and bullying. In these times it is important to locate a firm specialising in this area which can work alongside you, guide you and put in place simple systems and procedures that will allow you to manage tomorrow's problems.

Employment law requires the employer to provide an employment agreement but it is important for the employer to ensure the employment agreement is tailored to the needs of the business: Any old agreement will not do.

This is an area of law where prevention is better and cheaper than the cure or, to put it another way, it is better to know where you stand before you are standing in it! Personal grievances and claims that the employer unfairly dismissed an employee, failed to investigate a complaint of workplace bullying or stress, or failed to consult the employee about restructuring and the resulting redundancy can be prevented by obtaining good advice on employment law.

If you are a small to medium sized business you are unlikely to have inhouse advice. You need advice from a firm that understands the world of business and the difficulties of running a business. However, lawyers and advocates providing employment law services should be specialists. Your lawyer who has helped you when buying or selling your house or business is a commercial lawyer and not a specialist in employment law.

Some employment law firms act for only employers or employees: Other firms act for both. They have the advantage of knowing better how both employees and employers think when faced not only with the employment relationship problem itself but also the stress of managing it.

A lawyer or advocate specialising in employment law understands how the employment law institutions work: They know about the mediation process, the investigative process of the Employment Relations Authority and hearing process of the Employment Court. They should also know about the costs of using these processes.

Whether you are an employer or employee, when looking for a firm, see if they provide free advice. A free phone consultation allows you to assess not only whether you need further advice but also whether the person on the phone sounds like the person you need. You can also check out their websites to see if they give information through blogs and articles: They are often a good indication of the person that will be representing you.� You want to work with a lawyer or advocate who speaks plainly and can advocate passionately.

Finally, because you will be using your hard-earned money to pay for the services you require, you are entitled to expect the best.
