Employment law in Manchester can be hard on employers found guilty of dismissing employees on the grounds of discrimination. The reasons for discrimination could be perceived as racial, sexual or gender motivated. An aggrieved employee can file claims online with a tribunal without having to a pay fee even if the claim has no merit. An employer on the other hand has to shell out thousands of pounds in cash for defending a case and pay out more if the tribunal upholds the employee’s claims. Given the costs involved, having an employment law solicitor in London available at all times would work out cheaper as against hiring one just to defend your case.
Besides defending the employer when the situation calls, a good solicitor will also help frame clear policies that would leave no scope for employee discrimination. You would also be suggested to sign compromise agreements with all your employees when they are hired. A lawyer will also help with the paperwork when defending your case. The first document you would have to handle is the ET3 form which is a response to an employee claim that comes through the ET 1 form. For most companies the first step is intimidated but can be handled smoothly if you have the assistance of a good solicitor.
