Employment Law
EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS NORTHAMPTON
Employment law impacts on any business employing staff and may even apply to relationships which are not labelled as employment relationships, such as employing independent contractors.
Few, if any areas of law involve such a breadth of evolving law, whether national or European law, and most businesses which do nmot have a sizeable in-house HR function struggle to keep abreast of all the ramifications and risks associated with employment law.
In our experience, business clients benefit from regular, cost effective updates and assessment of potential employment law risks and best practice yet proprtionate ways of avoiding disputes. Not only do good employment law practices, policies and procedures minimise the nightmare scenario of employment tribunal claims, where employers are often in a no win situation (in the sense that theer is a general no costs rule in the Tribunal so that even if a claim by an employee is defeated, the employer incurs irrecoverable costs) but good practices create certainty, consistency and morale boosting benefits for business.
