BEERS EMPLOYMENT

Experts in Employment Law

From our offices in Plymouth and Kingsbridge, our expert employment law solicitors provide advice and representation to help businesses with problems with their employees.

We advise strategically and tactically how to tackle the problem raised by employees. We look to you for your outcome, challenge it to ‘stress test’ it, agree a way forward and implement it.

If you have a problem with an employee the one thing that cannot be permitted is for the situation to continue. We work with you to solve the problem: either the problem is resolved and you have a valued employee – the best outcome – or you have an ex employee.

There can be no problems that will be new to the team. Capability, misconduct, disability, discrimination of all sorts and union related issues and redundancy exercises and ex employee problems such as breach of restrictive covenants.

While we are confident in handling tribunal claims our focus is on problem resolution that does not result in ET claims.

A clear, up to date set of employment contracts and policies is essential for any company to ensure compliance with the law and smooth operation of your business. We can help you with these at a FIXED cost. Click here for more information.
